Rise of Eagles puts two 2/2 flying tokens on the battlefield and replaces itself with a scry 2 — all for six mana. That cost is the problem: six mana for a sorcery-speed token doubler with no immediate board protection is simply too slow for any competitive context.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Rise of Eagles is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no play in any of them. In Pauper it's the closest to viable — commons-only pools lower the ceiling on the competition, and the scry 2 draws real value in slower builds. In Commander, six mana at sorcery speed for two tokens is outclassed by nearly every comparable effect; the scry 2 softens the blow but doesn't justify the slot. Constructed formats like Modern and Legacy move too fast for Rise of Eagles to ever resolve at a meaningful moment.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Rise of Eagles sits firmly in bulk territory and will stay there — demand is too low across all formats to move the needle. Pick it up freely out of a bulk bin if a specific budget build calls for it, but don't expect the price to do anything interesting.
