Keensight Mentor puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature with flying at the start of combat, then draws you a card when a creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it deals combat damage — repeatable card advantage stapled to a lord-adjacent body. The catch is a three-mana 2/3 that does nothing the turn it enters and requires you to already be swinging with counters matters.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Keensight Mentor is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive constructed formats have zero interest in a three-mana 2/3 with a delayed trigger. Commander is the only home where this sees real play, specifically in +1/+1 counters decks and flying-tribal builds that can consistently connect with countered creatures. In those shells, the draw trigger compounds quickly — multiple attackers each threatening a card makes it punishing to block.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Keensight Mentor is deep bulk — you're buying a playset for less than a dollar. Bulk rares rarely climb unless they find a broken combo partner or get reprinted into a high-demand product, so expect this price to stay flat.
