Venomous Vines destroys an enchantment and deals damage equal to its mana value to the enchanted permanent's controller — real two-for-one potential stapled onto a single green instant. Six mana is steep, and that cost keeps it out of most optimized lists, but in slower pods where enchantments stick around long enough to punish, it earns its slot.

In Commander, Venomous Vines occupies the low end of the enchantment-removal spectrum — it handles Rhystic Study or Smothering Tithe and pings the owner, but six mana on an instant competes badly against Krosan Grip or Bane of Progress. Pauper is where it sees the most honest work: enchantment hate is genuinely scarce at common, and the damage rider can matter in a format with lower life totals and fewer resets. Legacy and Vintage have it legal but will never touch it — the efficiency bar is simply too high. If you're sleeving it up, Pauper is the format that actually asks for what Venomous Vines does.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Venomous Vines is deep bulk — you'll find it in a common box, not on a singles page. That price won't move; there's no scarcity story here, just a niche spell with a small ceiling on demand.
