Implement of Ferocity is a one-mana artifact that puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature and replaces itself with a card draw when it dies — two effects, one card, zero real cost. It's a staple in artifact-count decks and counter-synergy builds, and a clean cut for any list that needs cheap cantripping fodder.

In Commander, Implement of Ferocity earns its slot specifically in decks that want artifacts in the graveyard, on the battlefield, or both — Breya, Meren, and sacrifice-value commanders love it. In Pauper, it sees fringe play in artifact-synergy shells where the one-mana entry and free card draw on sacrifice matter for tempo. Across Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's effectively unplayed — the formats move too fast for a card that requires a second action to fully pay off. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's verdict: narrow but real in the right shell.

Price Context
Current price
$0.20 bulk tier
At $0.20, Implement of Ferocity is deep bulk — you're picking it out of a dollar bin or ordering a playset for less than a pack of gum. Bulk commons with niche demand don't spike, so there's no price pressure in either direction; buy it when you need it and don't think twice.
