Petravark exiles a land until it leaves the battlefield — repeatable mana denial stapled to a 3/1 body for four mana. The cost is real: it dies to a stiff breeze, and the land comes back the moment it does, but in shells that can abuse enters-the-battlefield triggers or pair it with Ashaya, Soul of the Wild to turn every creature into a land worth locking down, the effect compounds fast.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Petravark is a Commander card through and through — the format's slower clock gives the land-lock enough time to matter, and 100-card decks offer the redundancy needed to protect a fragile 3/1. In Pauper it's legal but competes in a format where tempo is razor-thin and a four-mana 3/1 with no immediate board impact is a tough sell. Legacy and Vintage are both legal on paper, but Petravark has no realistic home in either — the power level gap is too wide.

Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
Petravark sits firmly in bulk territory at $0.10, and there's no pressure pushing that up — it's a narrow, fragile creature in a format that has access to stronger land-hate at similar or lower prices. Pick it up freely for the synergy builds that want it, but don't expect the price to move.
