Ifh-Bíff Efreet turns every green creature into a Plague Wind trigger — pay one green, everything without flying takes a point, and stacking that repeatedly ends boards. The cost is a 3/3 flying body for four mana that your opponents can also activate, so it rewards decks that can immediately abuse the symmetry rather than hope nobody else does.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Ifh-Bíff Efreet actually lives — the activated ability scales with the number of non-flying creatures at a crowded table, and green stompy decks often field exactly the boards it punishes most. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but has never been relevant; a four-mana 3/3 with a slow activated ability doesn't compete in formats where the game ends on turn one or two. Oathbreaker is the same story as Commander at a smaller table, which slightly reduces the ceiling on the ability's impact.

Budget Alternatives
Cheaper options that do most of the same work
Ifh-Bíff Efreet's niche — a repeatable, mana-sink that pings all non-flying creatures — doesn't have a clean one-to-one budget replacement, but Pestilence and Pyrohemia cover similar ground at near-bulk prices, hitting all creatures rather than targeting the non-flying subset. The trade-off is they deal damage to everything including your own board and life total, where Ifh-Bíff Efreet lets you fly over your own punishment.
Price Context
Current price
$123.18 premium tier
At $123.18, Ifh-Bíff Efreet sits firmly in the premium tier driven almost entirely by age and scarcity rather than competitive demand. It's an old card with a narrow home, so the price is a collector premium — don't expect it to appreciate meaningfully, and don't pay it unless you specifically need the original printing.
