Radha's Firebrand turns every point of damage your opponents deal each other into a resource — the on-board pressure it generates scales hard in multiplayer. The cost is real: a three-mana 2/2 with no immediate effect is a liability in faster pods, and Gornog, the Red Reaper is the commander that makes running it close to mandatory.

Gornog, the Red Reaper
Gornog, the Red Reaper's entire gameplan rewards opponents taking damage from each other, and Radha's Firebrand feeds directly into that loop — every ping, combat, and burn spell your opponents trade becomes fuel for Gornog's counters and your board presence.

Radha's Firebrand is a Commander card through and through — the multiplayer damage economy is exactly where its triggered ability finds consistent value. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's outclassed by three-mana creatures with immediate board impact or enters-the-battlefield effects that don't rely on opponents hurting each other. Oathbreaker can mirror the multiplayer dynamic, so the card is playable there in the right shell, but Commander is unambiguously where Radha's Firebrand belongs.

Current pricing data for Radha's Firebrand isn't available in this snapshot, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for the live number. Given its narrow commander-specific appeal and single-printing status, it tends to sit in the budget-to-mid range — worth grabbing a copy if you're building Gornog, the Red Reaper rather than waiting.
