Order of the Golden Cricket is a two-mana 2/1 that can pay one white to gain flying until end of turn — evasion on demand, but at a recurring cost that adds up fast. It's a budget filler card, not a staple, and earns a slot only in the narrowest tribal or Plains-matters builds.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Order of the Golden Cricket is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker — but legal and playable are different things. In Pauper, a 2/1 for two with conditional flying sits below the format's power threshold; better two-drops exist at common. In Legacy and Vintage, Order of the Golden Cricket doesn't register. Commander is where it sees any real consideration, and even there it's competing against two-drops that generate card advantage or permanents rather than asking you to spend mana every turn to get over blockers.

Price Context
Current price
$0.19 bulk tier
At $0.19, Order of the Golden Cricket is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not demand. Don't expect the price to move; there's no breakout deck waiting to adopt a conditional-evasion two-drop.
