Rend Spirit destroys target Spirit for three mana at instant speed — clean, unconditional within its narrow slice of the type pie. Outside dedicated Spirit tribal, that restriction makes it unplayable in nearly every Commander context where better options exist.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Rend Spirit is only worth slotting in Spirit tribal decks, and even there it competes against unconditional instant-speed removal that doesn't care what's across the table. In Pauper it's legal but sees no meaningful play — the format's threats aren't Spirit-heavy enough to justify the restriction. Legacy and Vintage have it legal by technicality; no one runs it. The card lives and dies in Spirit tribal, full stop.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Rend Spirit is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. That price reflects the demand accurately, and there's no reason to expect it to move.
