Tazeem Roilmage bounces a nonland permanent when it enters — solid on-board disruption stapled to a 2/2 body for three mana. The catch is that the bounce only triggers if you control seven or more lands, which means it's a vanilla creature in the early game and a tempo play in the late one.

Tazeem Roilmage is a Commander card through and through — the seven-land threshold is easy to hit in a 100-card singleton format where ramp is expected and games go long. In Pioneer, Modern, or Legacy, three mana for a conditional bounce effect on a 2/2 body is far too slow; aggressive shells will have already closed the game, and controlling shells have access to cleaner answers. Pauper is the one non-Commander format where it's at least plausible, since the card pool is shallow and landfall synergies exist at common, but it still sits behind cheaper bounce options. Play Tazeem Roilmage in Commander landfall decks where hitting seven lands is a turn-four routine, not a stretch goal.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Tazeem Roilmage is deep bulk — you're paying for a slot, not the card. That price is stable by definition; there's no catalyst that pushes a narrow conditional creature out of the bulk bin.
