Invasion of Ulgrotha // Grandmother Ravi Sengir hits every opponent with a Demonic Tutor on one side and flips into a 4/4 that immediately tutors three black permanents onto the battlefield on the other — all for five mana. The cost is real, but the card advantage ceiling is absurd for anything that can protect or immediately defeat a 7-defense battle.

Commander is the natural home for Invasion of Ulgrotha // Grandmother Ravi Sengir — three opponents each lose their best card to the battle's ETB trigger, and flipping into Grandmother Ravi Sengir tutoring three black permanents directly into play can single-handedly reload a black midrange or reanimator deck. In Modern and Pioneer the five-mana cost is nearly disqualifying; dedicated black midrange decks have faster, cheaper disruption and no real mechanism to flip a battle reliably before dying. Legacy and Vintage treat it similarly — the power is theoretically there, but the format speed and the availability of more broken options push it out of contention. This card is a Commander card through and through, and black battlecruiser or toolbox builds will find it worth the slot.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Invasion of Ulgrotha // Grandmother Ravi Sengir is deep bulk — the kind of card you pick up without thinking about it. The price reflects low competitive demand, but the effect is well above bulk quality in Commander, so it's unlikely to appreciate meaningfully unless a high-profile build puts Ravi Sengir on the map.
