Mudslide
Enchantment
Creatures without flying don't untap during their controllers' untap steps.
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player may choose any number of tapped creatures without flying they control and pay 
for each creature chosen this way. If the player does, untap those creatures.

Mudslide locks the board for every creature without flying, turning the game into a stax prison while your aerial threats or combo pieces operate freely. Two red mana for a global cumulative upkeep tax is an absurd rate — this is one of the most efficient creature-lock enchantments ever printed.

Commander is where Mudslide does its real work — stax decks built around Zur the Enchanter, Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, or mono-red prison commanders like Magda, Brazen Outlaw can assemble a near-total board freeze while keeping their own fliers or artifact creatures online. Legacy sees it as a fringe stax piece, legal but too slow and narrow for a format where creature-based combos often close games before cumulative upkeep pressure bites. Vintage is technically legal but irrelevant given the raw power ceiling. Mudslide is, functionally, a Commander card.

Pricing data isn't available for Mudslide at the moment, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for a current number. Given its age, narrow application, and appeal to a specific stax audience, it tends to trade at a premium relative to its EDHREC inclusion rate — verify before buying.
