Nettlevine Blight locks a permanent in an endless sacrifice loop — whatever it attaches to gets sacrificed at end of turn, then the Blight moves to the next permanent in line, and so on until the board is empty. Six mana is a real ask, but the effect is a slow-rolling board wipe that dodges indestructible and regeneration entirely.

Commander is where Nettlevine Blight actually earns its slot — multiplayer boards are wide enough that the chain rarely fizzles, and opponents can't simply wait it out without losing everything they've built. In Legacy and Vintage it's unplayable; six mana enchantments with no immediate impact don't survive those formats' threat density and interaction speed. Oathbreaker sits closer to Commander in pace, so the same slow-grind logic applies, though the 20-life total means you need the chain to close games faster than it often will.

Price Context
Current price
$0.96 bulk tier
At $0.96, Nettlevine Blight sits at the high end of bulk — cheap enough to slot in without budget concerns, but not so underpriced that it screams hidden gem. It's a niche card with a narrow home, so don't expect the price to move much in either direction.
