Rolling Temblor card art
Rolling Temblor is a two-mana sweeper that kills every creature with toughness 2 or less — and for three mana with flashback, it does it twice. That rate is strong enough to earn a slot in any red deck that needs to reset a token board or punish go-wide strategies.

In Commander, Rolling Temblor fills the role of a cheap, repeatable sweeper for small creatures — the flashback makes it genuinely two removal spells for five mana spread across two turns, which is a real rate in a format where token decks and elf-ball lists run rampant. Legacy and Vintage have faster, more efficient options and creature quality is high enough that a 2-toughness ceiling often misses the most dangerous threats, so Rolling Temblor rarely sees play there. Modern is the one non-rotating format where it occasionally finds a home in sideboard slots targeting go-wide aggro or creature-heavy combo pieces, though dedicated sweepers usually outcompete it. It's legal in Oathbreaker and functions similarly to its Commander role — solid against token strategies, underwhelming against anything bigger.

Price Context

Current price

$0.10 bulk tier

At $0.10, Rolling Temblor is deep bulk — you'll find copies in any dollar bin at your local game store. Bulk rares with narrow sweeper applications don't typically appreciate, so grab it for what it does, not as a hold.
