Planeswalker's Mischief
Enchantment
: Target opponent reveals a card at random from their hand. If it's an instant or sorcery card, exile it. You may cast it without paying its mana cost for as long as it remains exiled. At the beginning of the next end step, if you haven't cast it, return it to its owner's hand. Activate only as a sorcery.

Planeswalker's Mischief is a repeatable hand-disruption engine that exiles a card from target opponent's hand every upkeep — and lets you cast it if it's a noncreature spell. The catch is the coin flip: tails means the effect fizzles that turn, which puts a hard ceiling on its reliability.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Planeswalker's Mischief is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but Legacy and Vintage have access to far more efficient discard and hand disruption, so it sees no meaningful play there. Commander is the only format where it earns a slot: the long games and multiplayer table mean a coin-flip trigger firing once per upkeep can strip multiple hands over the course of several turns. Oathbreaker is a reasonable secondary home if your planeswalker commander rewards casting spells from exile, but the format's faster pace makes the flip variance harder to absorb.

Price Context
Current price
$0.42 bulk tier
At $0.42, Planeswalker's Mischief is deep bulk — easy to pick up in any trade binder or bulk bin. Don't expect it to appreciate; it's a casual oddity, not a staple, and reprints would move the price closer to zero than away from it.
