Student of Elements // Tobita, Master of Winds flips into a lord that grants all your creatures flying the moment any one of them gains flying — free, permanent, and board-wide. The front half is a throwaway 1/1 that exists only to become Tobita, so the real cost is a two-mana setup piece in a deck already built around giving creatures evasion.

In Commander, Student of Elements // Tobita, Master of Winds earns a slot in any deck that either grants flying repeatedly as part of its gameplan or wants a cheap enabler to push the flip trigger on demand — Kangee, Aerie Keeper and Alela, Artful Provocateur shells are the obvious homes. Outside Commander, the card is legal in Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no competitive play in any of them; a two-card setup requiring flying to be granted is too slow and conditional for formats with access to efficient threats. Its real home has always been casual Commander tables where the Tobita payoff — turning a wide board into an evasion army instantly — can close games.

$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Student of Elements // Tobita, Master of Winds is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box without thinking twice. Demand is too narrow and supply too plentiful for the price to move meaningfully in either direction.
