Strength of Night gives all your creatures +2/+1 until end of turn for three mana — a combat trick stapled to a sweeper-sized body boost, not a permanent anthem. It's a fine finisher in token-wide swarm decks and nearly unplayable anywhere else.
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 |
Strength of Night sees essentially zero competitive play in Legacy or Vintage — three mana for a one-shot pump doesn't clear the bar when those formats end the game before combat math matters. In Pauper, aggressive black swarm decks can use it as a surprise alpha strike closer, though it competes with cheaper options. Commander is its best home, and even there Strength of Night is a niche card: token decks running Zombie or Rat tribal that need a one-shot finisher will occasionally slot it, but permanent anthems almost always do more work over the course of a game.

Price Context
Current price
$0.22 bulk tier
At $0.22, Strength of Night is deep bulk — you'll find it in a common bin before you'd ever order it. The price has nowhere meaningful to go; it's a casual-only card with no competitive demand propping it up.
