Moonlace changes a permanent or spell's color to colorless — a zero-mana investment with almost no on-board impact in most contexts. The one place it earns its slot is Orvar, the All-Form, where casting any single-target spell on your own permanent triggers a free clone, making Moonlace a zero-cost copy engine piece.

Orvar, the All-Form
Orvar, the All-Form triggers whenever you cast an instant or sorcery that targets a permanent you control, and Moonlace costs zero mana — meaning you can fire it on any of your own permanents to generate a free token copy the moment you need it, with no real downside to the permanent being recolored.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Moonlace is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but its relevance is almost entirely Commander-specific. In Legacy and Vintage, changing a permanent's color to colorless rarely maps onto a competitive line, and the card sees essentially zero play there. In Commander, Moonlace exists almost exclusively as an Orvar, the All-Form piece — outside that pairing, there is no shell that wants to spend a card slot on a color-change effect with no board presence.

Price Context
Current price
$0.59 bulk tier
At $0.59, Moonlace sits at bulk pricing, which accurately reflects its narrow demand. It won't trend upward without a new commander that specifically rewards zero-mana targeting spells, so there's no speculative reason to stockpile copies — buy exactly one if you're building Orvar.
