Simoon deals 1 damage to each green creature your opponents control — the entire opposing board if the meta is green-heavy, for a single red-green mana at instant speed. It's a hyper-narrow sideboard effect masquerading as a mainboard card, and in most Commander pods it does nothing.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Simoon is a meta-call card: it overperforms against green-based token strategies and mana dork packages, and does essentially nothing against non-green decks — a real liability in a four-player pod. Legacy and Vintage are the formats where Simoon was ever intended to see play, punishing Noble Hierarch and Llanowar Elves on turn one, but neither format has given it a real home in decades. It's legal in Oathbreaker but faces the same conditional problem at a smaller table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.31 bulk tier
At $0.31, Simoon is firmly bulk — the price reflects its narrow application accurately. It's unlikely to move unless a green-token commander breaks out and makes sweeping 1-toughness creatures a widespread priority.
