Skirsdag High Priest puts a 5/5 flying demon into play at instant speed for zero mana — the cost is morbid and tapping two other creatures, both of which become trivial conditions in the right shell. Pair it with Intruder Alarm and any death loop and you're making unlimited demons the turn you assemble the pieces.

Commander is where Skirsdag High Priest actually lives — sacrifice-heavy and token-heavy decks generate morbid almost every turn, and the priest converts that free value into a stream of 5/5 flyers that close games quickly. In Legacy and Vintage it's theoretically legal but competes against formats that don't have time for a two-tap ritual, so it sees no real play there. Modern similarly ignores it; the card demands too much setup for a format built around speed and efficiency.

Current price
$0.27 bulk tier
At $0.27, Skirsdag High Priest is firmly bulk — one of the better bulk rares in Commander given the ceiling on its output. The price is stable and likely stays there; casual demand keeps it from zero, but widespread availability keeps it from climbing.
