Opportunity draws four cards at instant speed — that's a full refill that your opponents can't plan around. Six mana is steep, but the ceiling on a four-for-one at the right moment makes it a legitimate Commander staple in blue decks that can hold up mana.

Commander is where Opportunity actually belongs — six mana is trivial in a format built around 40-life games and ramp-heavy piles, and the instant speed matters enormously when you're passing the turn anyway. In competitive 60-card formats like Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, it's strictly outclassed by Ancestral Recall effects, Cryptic Command, and cheaper draw spells that don't cost you your entire turn. Vintage allows it but would never run it. Opportunity is a Commander card through and through: slow, splashy, and exactly what a control player wants to cast on an opponent's end step.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Opportunity is pure bulk — you'll find copies in any common box at your local store. The price reflects supply more than quality; four cards at instant speed is genuinely good, and this won't spike, but it also won't lose you anything to pick up a copy.
