Unerring Sling lets you deal damage equal to a creature's power to any target whenever that creature blocks or becomes blocked — a repeatable, free-to-activate threat that punishes opponents for trading in combat. The catch is that it does nothing on its own and demands a wide or high-power board to generate real value.

Unerring Sling is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's a Commander card through and through. In Legacy and Vintage, three-mana do-nothing artifacts with no immediate impact don't compete, and the combat-dependent trigger is too slow and conditional for those formats. In Commander, the multiplayer table extends games long enough for Unerring Sling to fire repeatedly, and the ability to redirect damage to any target — including players and planeswalkers — means a single blocked 5-power creature can close out a life total or kill a walker that was otherwise untouchable.

Price Context
Current price
$0.20 bulk tier
At $0.20, Unerring Sling is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not demand. It won't hold or gain value, but it also costs nothing to slot into a combat-heavy Commander deck where it might quietly overperform.
