Mask of Intolerance drains each opponent for 1 life at the start of their upkeep for each basic land type among permanents they control — in a multicolor-heavy format like Commander, that ticks up fast without you lifting a finger. One mana to cast and zero mana to maintain makes it one of the cheapest passive drain effects in the game.

Commander is where Mask of Intolerance does its best work — four opponents running three- and four-color decks means this card routinely drains for 3 or 4 per upkeep per player, adding up to double-digit life loss each full rotation of the table. It slots naturally into mono-black or Orzhov life-drain strategies that want passive inevitability rather than interactive pieces. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but irrelevant — those formats are too fast and too focused for a slow-burn enchantment that depends on opponents fetching basics. Oathbreaker shares Commander's multicolor density, so the same logic applies at a smaller table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.28 bulk tier
At $0.28, Mask of Intolerance is deep bulk — you're picking this out of a dollar-bin box, not tracking it on a buylist. Bulk enchantments with narrow applications rarely climb, so don't expect the price to move unless a drain commander spikes in popularity and drags it along.
