Skull of Orm lets you return an enchantment from your graveyard to your hand every turn — for five mana and a tap. That cost is punishing enough that it only earns a slot when you're looping something like Second Chance or another enchantment worth more than five mana of setup.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Skull of Orm is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees virtually no play outside Commander. In Legacy and Vintage the five-mana activation is simply too slow against formats that end games on turn two or three. Commander is where Skull of Orm finds its niche — specifically in enchantment-heavy builds that want a repeatable recursion engine and can afford to sink mana into it on slower, grindier turns.

Price Context
Current price
$0.92 bulk tier
At $0.92, Skull of Orm sits firmly in bulk territory. It's a narrow card with a small audience, so don't expect the price to move unless an enchantment combo pushes it into the spotlight.
