Mire's Toll strips a card from an opponent's hand on turn one, and it costs a single black mana — the cheapest rate discard gets in this color. The catch is the Swamp reveal clause, which locks it into mono-black or heavily black shells, but inside those decks it's a clean, no-questions-asked one-drop.

In Commander, Mire's Toll is a niche piece: early hand disruption matters less in a 100-card singleton format against three opponents, but black decks that want to strip a key combo piece or force a discard trigger before the table gets rolling will find it functional. In Pauper, where early discard is a real strategic axis and black one-drops are valued, it competes for the slot but loses to Funeral Charm's flexibility. Legacy and Vintage have access to more powerful discard at the same cost, so Mire's Toll rarely makes the cut there. It's legal in Oathbreaker, where the faster pace and lower starting hand count make early disruption more meaningful than in Commander.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Mire's Toll is deep bulk — buy a playset for less than a dollar and never think about the price again. It won't appreciate, but for a narrow role in a black-heavy Commander or Pauper build, the cost of entry is essentially zero.
