Honorbound Page // Forum's Favor is a two-mana 2/3 vigilance creature that flips into a constellation-payoff enchantment, giving your creatures +1/+1 and lifelink whenever an enchantment enters under your control — the front half attacks and blocks while the back half rewards an enchantress build at no extra card investment. The cost is that neither half is exceptional on its own: the creature is a placeholder, and the enchantment asks you to already be doing enchantress things to matter, making it a role-player rather than a role-definer outside dedicated builds like Dovescape lock decks that generate a constant enchantment stream.

In Commander, Honorbound Page // Forum's Favor earns a slot in enchantress and Aura-stacking decks that want both a cheap early blocker and a passive life-gain engine once the enchantment density kicks in. In Standard and Pioneer it competes against a crowded two-drop slot and the enchantment payoff requires deliberate deck construction to make the back half relevant, which limits its appeal to fringe enchantment synergy shells. Modern and Legacy have no interest — the rate is too fair for those formats. Pauper is where Honorbound Page // Forum's Favor's modest stats and low cost could find a niche in an enchantment-heavy shell, especially given how much lifelink matters in the format's aggressive metagame.

Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Honorbound Page // Forum's Favor sits firmly in bulk territory — you're picking this up as a throw-in, not a purchase. Bulk rares rarely climb unless a dominant Standard archetype emerges around them, and nothing about this card's power ceiling suggests that's coming.
