March of Souls wipes the board of every non-token creature and replaces each one — yours and your opponents' — with a 1/1 white Spirit token with flying. The symmetry is the whole game: run it in a deck that wants the reset more than the tokens, and it's a five-mana one-sided board wipe in practice.

March of Souls is a Commander card through and through — the multiplayer table is exactly where replacing every creature with a 1/1 flier creates political leverage and genuine chaos. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but unplayed; at five mana with symmetrical tokens it can't compete with faster, cleaner sweepers in those formats. Commander is the only context where its unique effect is actually desirable: the token flood slows aggressive boards, punishes graveyard-light opponents with creatures they can't use, and enables token synergies that turn the symmetry into an advantage.

Price Context
Current price
$2.17 cheap tier
At $2.17, March of Souls sits firmly in budget territory for a card that does something no other board wipe does at any price. Demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to spike, but its uniqueness keeps it from bottoming out — it's stable, cheap, and worth owning if the effect fits your deck.
