Mask of Immolation card art
Mask of Immolation enters with a 1/1 token, lets you sacrifice that token to deal 1 damage to any target, and costs one red mana to cast — that's a removal trigger, a sacrifice outlet, and a token producer stapled together for next to nothing. In Koll, the Forgemaster builds especially, it's a one-mana engine piece that keeps returning to hand every time you cash in the token.

Mask of Immolation sees virtually no play in Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer — formats where one mana buys interaction that ends games outright, and a 1-damage ping on a fragile equipment simply doesn't compete. Commander is its real home, where the combination of token production, a built-in sacrifice outlet, and low equip cost plugs directly into sacrifice synergy decks that want cheap, repeatable ways to fuel their engines. In Oathbreaker the same logic applies on a smaller scale, and the card is worth considering in any red signature-spell shell built around token or sacrifice themes.

Price Context

Current price

$0.16 bulk tier

At $0.16, Mask of Immolation is deep bulk — you'll find copies in any common box or grab a playset for less than a dollar online. The price is stable floor territory; it won't climb unless a high-profile combo deck adopts it, and there's no reason to hesitate on picking up copies for any deck that can use it.
