Parallectric Feedback deals damage equal to the converted mana cost of a spell that targets one of your permanents — against a Cyclonic Rift or Boros Charm aimed at your board, that's a substantial chunk of life total for a single red mana. Narrow by design, but in the right meta it's a one-mana haymaker.

In Commander, Parallectric Feedback occupies a specific but real niche: red decks that need cheap interaction against high-CMC spells like Cyclonic Rift, Austere Command, or Chaos Warp, where the damage output routinely hits 4–7. Legacy and Vintage have faster, more redundant answers to targeted removal, and the meta's threat density makes a reactive one-shot less reliable — it sees essentially no play there. Modern theoretically supports it, but targeted removal in that format skews low-CMC, capping the damage at numbers that rarely close a game. Parallectric Feedback is a Commander card that happens to be legal elsewhere.

Price Context
Current price
$0.24 bulk tier
At $0.24, Parallectric Feedback is deep bulk — it costs less than a sleeve. That price is stable simply because demand is low and supply is not; don't expect movement in either direction.
