Keen Glidemaster is a two-mana 1/2 that grants flying to a target creature until end of turn — a strictly situational effect that barely registers outside of very narrow evasion-stacking strategies. The cost of a card slot and two mana for a fragile body with a one-shot activated ability is not a trade most decks should accept.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Keen Glidemaster is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal and playable are different things. In Commander, temporary flying on demand is rarely worth a card — evasion matters, but you want it baked into your threats or granted permanently by an enchantment. In Pauper, where commons compete hard for slots, a 1/2 body with a sorcery-speed activated ability doesn't clear the bar. Keen Glidemaster is theoretically usable in any of these formats and practically correct in almost none of them.

Price Context
Current price
$0.03 bulk tier
At $0.03, Keen Glidemaster is deep bulk — the kind of card that rounds out a trade binder but never gets pulled out. The price reflects the demand accurately, and there's no reason to expect that to change.
