Steeling Stance gives your whole team +1/+1 until end of turn for two mana — a combat trick that scales with board size rather than targeting a single attacker. It's a fine Limited card and an easy cut in any Constructed format where anthem effects need to last longer than a turn.

Steeling Stance sees essentially zero Constructed play because a one-turn global buff at sorcery speed rarely generates the tempo or board advantage needed to justify the slot. In Commander, the 99-card format where games run long and single-turn buffs fade without lasting impact, it competes against permanent anthems and board-wide pump spells that close games rather than just win one attack step. Pauper is the one format where cheap pump spells occasionally earn a slot in token-based go-wide strategies, though even there instant-speed options are generally preferred. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in it.

At $0.05, Steeling Stance is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. That price reflects its demand accurately and isn't going anywhere.
