Mob trades up cleanly — five mana to destroy any creature with power 4 or greater, no questions asked, at instant speed. It's a conditional removal spell, but the condition covers most of what actually threatens you in Commander.

In Commander, Mob fills a useful slot in decks that run black but want to handle large threats without paying premium removal prices. The power-4-or-greater restriction stops mattering fast — most combat-relevant creatures and combo pieces clear that bar easily. In Pauper, Mob competes for the removal slot against cheaper options, but instant-speed unconditional-enough destruction at common rarity gives it a real argument. Legacy and Vintage have Fatal Push and Swords to Plowshares, so Mob doesn't see play there. It's a Commander and Pauper card through and through.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Mob is deep bulk — grab it out of any dollar box or throw it in a cart filler. That price reflects supply, not quality; it's a functional removal spell and will stay accessible indefinitely.
