Mishra's Onslaught puts three 3/3 Phyrexian Goblin tokens onto the battlefield and deals three damage to each opponent — that's twelve power across three bodies plus nine damage to the table for six mana. The cost is real, but the board impact is immediate and the tokens stick around to attack.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Commander is where Mishra's Onslaught lives — six mana is acceptable in a format full of ramp, and hitting three opponents simultaneously means nine free damage just from entering the battlefield. In competitive Legacy, Modern, or Vintage, six mana is a death sentence; you'll never untap with it. Pauper is interesting in theory since the card is legal, but the power level of six-drop sorceries in that format is scrutinized hard, and the tokens being 3/3 Phyrexians rather than anything synergistic makes it a poor fit. Pioneer players are in the same boat as Modern — too slow, not enough payoff for the investment.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Mishra's Onslaught is deep bulk — the kind of card you pick out of a dollar box without thinking twice. Bulk mythics rarely climb without a competitive application, and this one has none, so expect the price to stay flat or drift lower as supply accumulates.
