Interjection is a one-mana instant that replaces itself — draw a card, then put a card from your hand on top of your library — which makes it cantrip-adjacent but strictly worse than spells that actually net cards. It sees play almost exclusively as a cheap spell to trigger prowess or spell-count payoffs, not for its text.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Interjection is legal everywhere but finds a home in almost none of those formats on its own merits. In Commander, the card's best use case is padding the spell count in Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest or Veyran, Voice of Duality shells where every cheap blue instant matters and the deck needs cheap triggers more than card advantage. In Pauper and Legacy, cantrips exist that actually advance your hand rather than rearrange it, so Interjection doesn't compete. The only competitive context where it occasionally appears is storm or prowess builds that need the cheapest possible spell count, and even there it's usually an afterthought.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Interjection is deep bulk — you're buying it out of a commons box, not a singles page. Bulk cantrips with narrow applications don't appreciate, so treat this as a throw-in rather than a pickup worth tracking.
