Leaves from the Vine is a zero-mana cantrip that replaces itself — the entire cost is having a tapped legendary creature, which in the right deck is no cost at all. Iroh, Grand Lotus turns every Wisdom trigger into free card selection, making this one of the cleanest one-drops in the archetype.

Leaves from the Vine is legal across competitive formats but sees essentially zero play outside Commander — the effect is too conditional and too slow for Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, where tapping a legendary creature for a cantrip is nowhere near good enough. In Commander, the calculus flips entirely: legendary-matters decks, especially Iroh, Grand Lotus, treat this as a free spell that cycles itself and triggers any ability that cares about casting or drawing. Outside that specific archetype, it's narrow enough to ignore — there are better cantrips for decks that just want card selection.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Leaves from the Vine is firmly bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not the card. Bulk uncommons with narrow homes don't tend to move, so this sits where it is unless Iroh, Grand Lotus spikes in popularity and drags demand with it.
