Peace Talks locks the table out of spells and abilities until end of turn — every player's permanents can't attack or block this turn, and no one can cast anything for the rest of it. Two mana for a full-table freeze is a real effect, but the symmetry is brutal: you're buying one turn of safety, not an advantage, so it demands a very specific reason to be in your deck.

Peace Talks is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker — formats where the card sees essentially zero competitive play. In Commander it occupies a narrow niche: stax-adjacent decks that need to survive one pivotal turn, fog-chain strategies, or combo decks that want to untap safely without leaving up counterspell mana. The symmetry makes it close to unplayable in most lists — you freeze your own interaction alongside everyone else's, which means any window Peace Talks creates has to be immediately decisive. Legacy and Vintage have faster, more flexible options for any effect remotely similar, so it doesn't register there either.
