Magosi, the Waterveil card art
Magosi, the Waterveil enters tapped and costs a full turn to charge before it ever produces mana or an extra turn — that's a steep ask. The payoff is real in dedicated loops, especially with Nesting Grounds moving eon counters around or Gogo, Master of Mimicry copying the activation, but outside those engines it's too slow to justify a land slot.

Gogo, Master of Mimicry can copy Magosi, the Waterveil's activated ability, letting you generate extra-turn triggers without bouncing the land back to hand and restarting the charge cycle — that loop is the primary reason the card shows up in 19% of Gogo lists.

Magosi, the Waterveil is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it only sees meaningful play in Commander where the game goes long enough for the charge-and-bounce loop to pay off. In Legacy and Vintage, extra turns come cheaper and faster through Time Walk and its ilk, so Magosi never gets a look. Modern has enough land-slot competition and faster clocks that a land requiring two full turns of investment before doing anything is simply unplayable. Commander is the one format where a dedicated shell — counter manipulation, bounce synergies, or copy effects — can actually sustain the loop and turn Magosi, the Waterveil into a repeatable extra-turn engine.

Price Context

Current price

$1.15 cheap tier

At $1.15, Magosi, the Waterveil sits firmly in bulk-rare territory, which makes sense given its narrow playability. It's cheap enough to pick up speculatively for a dedicated combo deck, but don't expect the price to move unless a powerful new counter-manipulation piece pushes the loop into the mainstream.
