Stand // Deliver gives a creature +2/+2 and indestructible until end of turn on one half, then bounces a non-land permanent for two mana on the other — two fully functional spells stapled together for cheap. It's a versatile roleplayer, not a staple, but the split format means you always have the relevant half.
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, Stand // Deliver earns its slot as a split card that solves two real problems: protecting a key creature through a board wipe and bouncing a problematic permanent when removal falls short. Legacy and Vintage can run it legally but won't — the individual halves are underpowered next to dedicated protection and bounce staples in those formats. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander 60-card format where Stand // Deliver might see occasional play, since spell-heavy oathbreakers can value the flexibility.

Price Context
Current price
$0.23 bulk tier
At $0.23, Stand // Deliver is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not demand. That price is stable; this card doesn't have a breakout archetype waiting to spike it.
