Infuse with the Elements lands as a massive pump spell that also replaces itself, stacking +1/+1 counters equal to the target creature's toughness and granting trample and reach — all for instant speed. The catch is the domain requirement: you want all five basic land types in play to get the full effect, which limits the home for this card almost entirely to five-color or heavily domain-oriented builds. Feather, the Redeemed decks can loop it repeatedly, but most shells won't see the ceiling often enough to justify the slot.

Infuse with the Elements is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive play in the non-rotating formats is essentially off the table — pump spells at sorcery-adjacent mana costs don't survive the tempo standards of Legacy or Vintage, and Modern has far more efficient ways to close games. In Commander it finds its best footing in domain decks that reliably assemble all five basic land types, where the counter ceiling is high enough to threaten a one-shot. Outside of domain synergy or a commander that recurs instants, Infuse with the Elements sits in too narrow a band to earn a spot in most 99s.

Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Infuse with the Elements is deep bulk — grab a copy any time you're placing a filler order and won't notice the cost. Bulk rares rarely appreciate unless they find a competitive home, and this one's ceiling is Commander-only niche, so don't expect the price to move.
