Verdigris destroys two artifacts at sorcery speed for four mana — the effect is real, but the rate is not. Better options exist at every budget, and this slot is almost always better spent.

In Commander, Verdigris competes in a crowded field of artifact removal, and four mana at sorcery speed for two targets is a tough sell when Krosan Grip and By Force exist. Pauper is the one format where Verdigris gets a second look — artifact density is high enough that hitting two permanents can swing a game, and the card pool for artifact hate is narrower. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; no one is registering Verdigris when Abrupt Decay and Mox-powered interaction are on the table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Verdigris is deep bulk — pick it up as filler if you need artifact removal in a Pauper deck and have nothing else on hand. It holds no financial value and isn't likely to spike.
