Obelisk of Jund costs three mana and taps for one of three colors — the baseline you measure every other tri-color rock against. It does the job and nothing more; run it when you need fixing and have no better options.

Obelisk of Jund is a Commander staple by necessity, not by excellence — Jund and any other black-red-green shell will reach for it when the budget or the curve demands a reliable third fixer. In Pauper it's a common and fully legal, which matters because the format's fixing pool is shallow enough that three-color decks genuinely want it. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern have it on the books, but no competitive deck in those formats would spend a slot on a vanilla three-mana rock when fetchlands and faster mana exist. It's a Commander card that happens to be legal elsewhere.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Obelisk of Jund is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box rather than buy. Bulk fixing rarely spikes, so there's no reason to expect movement; grab it when you need it and don't think twice.
