Squall deals damage to each creature with flying equal to its toughness — on a sorcery, at one green mana, it clears the skies entirely. It's a one-sided board wipe for flying creatures at a price that makes almost every green deck look twice.
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 | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Squall earns a slot in any green deck that struggles with flying threats — tokens, dragons, and sphinxes all die to it while your ground creatures survive untouched. Legacy and Vintage see it occasionally in green stompy builds that want cheap, asymmetric answers, though the sorcery speed and narrowness limit its ceiling in those formats. Pauper is where Squall finds the most consistent home outside Commander, punishing faerie and Drake-heavy shells for a single green mana. It's not legal in Modern, Pioneer, or Standard, so the audience is largely Commander players and older-format brewers.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Squall is deep bulk — you'll find copies in any dollar-bin without effort. That price is stable; there's no demand spike coming for a narrow common, but it also won't cost you anything to sleeve one up.
