Rock Slide deals damage to each creature without flying equal to the number of Mountains you control — in a Mountain-heavy deck that can easily read as a one-sided board wipe. The condition is narrow enough that Rock Slide belongs only in dedicated red land-matters or mono-red builds, not as general removal.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Rock Slide is a bulk rare in every format where it's legal, and that's the honest read across the board. In Commander, the payoff is real inside dedicated mono-red or Mountain-matters builds — Valakut triggers and a board wipe on the same turn is a real axis — but outside that shell it competes with unconditional sweepers and loses. Legacy and Vintage have access to far more efficient removal, so Rock Slide never sees serious play there. Pauper is where it's most plausible as a sideboard piece against creature aggro, assuming a Mountain-dense manabase, but even there the floor is low if you're behind on land count.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Rock Slide is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not demand. It won't appreciate; the narrow condition keeps it out of enough decks that supply will always outpace interest.
