Mighty Leap gives a creature +2/+2 and flying until end of turn for one white mana — a combat trick with genuine reach, literally. Outside of Limited, it doesn't make the cut: one-shot stat bumps at instant speed are rarely worth a card slot in formats where permanents compound value.

Mighty Leap is a Limited staple and close to nothing else. In Pauper it sits on the fringes of aggressive white strategies, where the flying clause can steal a race or push through a lethal attack, but even there it competes with tricks that leave something behind. Commander is the wrong home entirely — one-shot pump spells don't scale to 40-life games, and spending a card to win a single combat is a losing proposition over 99-card consistency. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern are non-starters; the card simply doesn't interact with anything those formats care about. If you're drafting a set that includes it, Mighty Leap is a fine role-player; everywhere else, leave it in the bulk box.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Mighty Leap is deep bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not the effect. There's no financial reason to hold copies; supply is enormous and demand outside of Draft is effectively zero.
