Insolence taps an opponent's creature and prevents it from untapping until end of turn — a one-mana effect that doubles as pseudo-removal for a blocker or a key utility creature. It's a narrow, single-use trick that sees almost no competitive play because the effect simply doesn't justify a card slot in most 100-card formats.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Insolence is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees meaningful play in none of them. In Commander, tapping one creature for one mana at instant speed is too small a effect to justify inclusion — the format demands card efficiency, and a one-for-one tap effect that doesn't even remove the threat is easy to cut. Pauper is where a card like this comes closest to a home, but even there the effect is too situational to earn a main-deck slot outside highly specific builds. Legacy and Vintage have access to fast mana and broken threats that make Insolence irrelevant.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Insolence is pure bulk — the price reflects genuine lack of demand across all formats. Don't expect it to move; there's no sleeper potential here.
