Soulfire Grand Master

In Commander, Soulfire Grand Master earns its slot in any Jeskai or Boros spellslinger shell that expects to cast high-impact instants and sorceries repeatedly — the lifelink rider is incidental, but the recursion loop is a legitimate late-game engine. In Modern and Pioneer, it sees occasional play in burn or control sideboards as a life-gain threat that also threatens to reuse key spells, though it's rarely a four-of main-deck staple in either format. Legacy's card quality pushes Soulfire Grand Master to the fringe — there are faster and more resilient threats available — but it occasionally surfaces in life-gain or tempo lists looking for a cheap two-drop with upside. Across all formats, the card rewards decks built to exploit the recursion ability; if you're only using it as a lifelink body, you're underutilizing it.
