Murasa Sproutling gives you a 2/1 body that replaces itself with any land from your library when it dies — repeatable, searchable insurance against land destruction or missed drops. The cost is that it demands five or more lands on the battlefield to trigger, so early-game it's a vanilla 2/1 with no upside.

Commander is where Murasa Sproutling earns its slot, specifically in landfall or lands-matter decks that want redundant land-fetch effects stapled to a creature body. In Modern and Pioneer it's simply too slow and conditional — a 2/1 for two with a death trigger that requires board state is nowhere near competitive. Legacy and Vintage have no interest; Wrenn and Six and fetchlands do this job without a body attached. Oathbreaker parallels the Commander case: niche inclusion, only if the planeswalker cares about land count.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Murasa Sproutling is deep bulk — you'll find it in a common box before you'd bother ordering it. Bulk commons don't appreciate unless a mechanic gets a sudden competitive push, and there's no sign of that here.
