Simic Locket costs three mana to enter, taps for one blue or green, and can sacrifice itself to draw two cards — a fine ceiling buried under a floor that most Commander decks have outgrown. Better three-mana rocks do more the turn they land; run this only if you need the ninth or tenth piece of fixing and your budget is truly zero.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Simic Locket is a non-factor in Legacy, Vintage, Modern, and Pioneer — formats where three mana for a rock is a forfeit and nobody is looking for late-game cantrip value on a mana stone. Pauper is the one context where its combined fixing-plus-card-draw profile has marginal relevance, since the card pool for artifacts is shallower. Commander is where it sees actual play, almost entirely in budget builds that need green-blue fixing and have already slotted the obvious two-mana options; the sacrifice ability occasionally matters when a deck floods out, but that upside rarely justifies the slot over a land.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Simic Locket is deep bulk — you'll find copies in any common box at your local store without thinking twice. The price is stable because demand is a floor, not a ceiling; nothing about this card drives buyouts or casual spikes.
