Vizier of the True taps a creature when it deals combat damage to a player — a repeatable, on-board tap effect that costs nothing beyond the attack. At three mana for a 2/3, the rate is acceptable only if your deck actively wants creatures locked down.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Vizier of the True is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees meaningful play in exactly one of those. In Commander, it slots into tap-synergy builds — Derevi, Empyrial Tactician and Azorius or Bant exert/tap strategies get real mileage from locking down a blocker or utility creature every attack step. In every competitive 60-card format, a three-mana 2/3 that requires combat damage to trigger is far too slow and conditional to register.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Vizier of the True is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box without thinking twice. The price reflects its narrow application; it won't climb unless a new Commander is printed that specifically rewards tap effects at scale.
