Liturgy of Blood kills a nonland permanent and puts a basic land into play tapped — five mana for removal plus ramp is a real effect, but five mana is a steep ask in 2025 Commander. Patron of the Moon decks and landfall shells will take it; everyone else has better options at lower cost.

Liturgy of Blood is a bulk common that sees essentially no competitive play in Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, or Vintage — five mana for sorcery-speed removal doesn't move the needle where efficient answers are plentiful. Pauper is its most credible non-Commander home, where card quality floors are lower and the land fetch has more relative value. In Commander, it occupies a narrow niche: landfall decks or mana-hungry five-color piles that want removal and ramp stapled together, and even there it competes with cheaper two-for-one effects.
