Torens, Fist of the Angels card art
Torens, Fist of the Angels turns every noncreature spell into a free 1/1 Human token with training, making it one of the most passive board-presence engines in green-white at just two mana. The cost is that the token engine lives and dies with Torens himself — and Earthcraft combos aside, the ceiling is wide boards rather than infinite loops.

Commander is where Torens, Fist of the Angels does its best work — a two-mana legendary that generates board presence passively is well above the rate you normally pay for a commander slot, and the Human subtype plugs into one of the format's deepest tribal networks. In Modern and Legacy, the card is legal but competes in a texture where two-mana do-nothings without immediate impact get punished; it sees essentially no play there. Pioneer presents the same problem without the tribal infrastructure to justify it. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander 60-card-adjacent format where it could show up as a signature spell target in a Human shell, but the card itself is built to command a 99, not sit in a support role.

Price Context

Current price

$0.42 bulk tier

At $0.42, Torens, Fist of the Angels sits firmly in bulk territory despite being a legitimate build-around legendary. That price is unlikely to climb unless a major Human or Selesnya combo deck pushes it into demand, so it's a low-risk pickup for any Human tribal list.
