Narcolepsy locks a creature out of attacking and blocking for the cost of two mana — cheap, clean, and permanent until answered. Hylda of the Icy Crown turns that tap trigger into a repeatable engine, making this enchantment punch well above its price tag.

Hylda of the Icy Crown
Narcolepsy keeps a creature tapped at the start of every untap step, and Hylda of the Icy Crown converts each of those forced taps into tokens, card draw, or scry — one two-mana enchantment becomes a continuous value source for the entire game.

In Commander, Narcolepsy is a budget answer to a single threat — it blanks a creature permanently without costing you a card, though three or four opponents means one lockdown rarely stabilizes a board. Pauper is where it earns real respect: the format's creature-centric aggro and the scarcity of enchantment removal make a two-mana Answer that sticks genuinely powerful. In Legacy and Vintage, Narcolepsy is too slow and too narrow to compete with instant-speed interaction and the density of non-creature threats, so it stays on the bench.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Narcolepsy is deep bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a functional removal piece. That price will hold; it's been widely printed and sees no competitive demand outside Pauper, so there's no supply pressure pushing it up.
