Jade Leech puts a 7/7 trampler on the board for four mana — that's an absurd rate. The catch is real: your opponent gets a free green mana every turn, so you're essentially paying with tempo and politics rather than resources.

In Commander, Jade Leech is a bulk-rate beater that sees occasional play in mono-green stompy lists where the green-mana drawback is trivially irrelevant — if your opponent is already running green, you've given away almost nothing. Legacy is where the math gets interesting: a 7/7 trample on turn two is a legitimate clock, but the drawback is more punishing in a two-player game where one opponent captures the full benefit. Vintage has better four-drop options by a wide margin, and Jade Leech doesn't see meaningful play there. The card's ceiling is Commander, specifically under a commander like Selvala, Heart of the Wilds or any archetype that can close the game before the mana gift compounds.

Price Context
Current price
$0.35 bulk tier
At $0.35, Jade Leech is deep bulk — you'll find it in a commons box, not a singles case. The price reflects its narrow playability rather than any hidden demand, so don't expect movement in either direction.
