Molten Rebuke deals 6 damage to a creature for three mana — clean, instant-speed, and scaled to finish most threats outright. The cost is that it's a sorcery-speed conditional burn spell in a format full of cheaper, unconditional options.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Molten Rebuke competes against a crowded field of three-mana removal, and unconditional exile effects like Generous Gift and Chaos Warp are simply more reliable. Pauper is where Molten Rebuke has the most legitimate case — common-legal creature removal at six damage covers a wide swath of the format's threats, and the budget constraint narrows the competition. In Modern and Pioneer it never sees play; those formats move too fast for a sorcery that can't answer noncreature permanents. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters for the same reason at a much higher power ceiling.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Molten Rebuke is deep bulk — the kind of card that ends up in a collection binder rather than a cart. Bulk commons rarely appreciate, so run it if you need a slot filled today, but don't expect the price to move.
