Wake of Vultures trades a discard for a 3/2 flying body, which is a real cost — this is a black card that wants you to pitch something you actually wanted to keep. At one black mana, the rate is fine, but you're playing it because the discard synergizes with something, not because a 3/2 flier is inherently worth a card.

In Commander, Wake of Vultures earns a slot in reanimator and graveyard-value shells where the discard is a feature, not a drawback — pitching a Griselbrand or Syr Konrad trigger target is a meaningful upside. Pauper is its most competitive home, where a one-mana 3/2 flier with built-in graveyard interaction is genuinely above rate for aggressive black lists. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant — the effect isn't close to format-playable there. Wake of Vultures is a roleplayer in very specific Commander builds and a fringe Pauper option; everywhere else it's a bulk common.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Wake of Vultures is deep bulk — buy a playset for the price of a gumball and never think about it again. There's no meaningful price floor to speak of, and demand is narrow enough that this number isn't going anywhere.
