Sungrass Egg costs one mana to play, one more to crack, and produces a single green mana — a two-mana ritual that replaces itself with a land search at sorcery speed. Strictly worse than Chromatic Sphere or any one-mana land fetcher in virtually every context; the only reason to run it is extreme budget constraint or artifact-count synergy.
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 |
Sungrass Egg is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive play in Legacy and Vintage has no use for a two-mana green mana fix when Lion's Eye Diamond and Mox Diamond exist. In Commander, Sungrass Egg occupies the weakest tier of color-fixing artifacts — it demands two mana across two turns to produce one, which fails the basic ramp test. The narrow exception is artifact-synergy commanders like Breya, Etherium Shaper or Muzzio, Visionary Architect, where the artifact type itself has value and the mana production is incidental. Even then, better one-mana artifacts exist for those slots.

Price Context
Current price
$0.32 bulk tier
At $0.32, Sungrass Egg sits firmly in bulk territory and is unlikely to climb — demand is low and supply from older sets is sufficient to keep it there. It's cheap enough that price is never the reason to include it; if you're running it, the artifact type is doing the work, not the mana.
