Wojek Embermage passively pings every creature an opponent controls for 1 damage at the end of each turn — not just once, but continuously as long as it stays on the board. A 2/2 for four mana is underpowered on rate, but the sustained board pressure it generates in go-wide matchups is real.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Wojek Embermage is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it only earns a slot in Commander. The 100-card singleton format is where its passive drain matters — multiplayer tables fill with token armies and utility creatures that Wojek Embermage slowly punishes over several turns. In Legacy or Modern the four-mana ask is a non-starter when faster, higher-impact options dominate; it won't see play there. Commander is the right home, and even there it belongs specifically in decks that can protect it or leverage the repeated damage trigger.

Price Context
Current price
$0.28 bulk tier
At $0.28, Wojek Embermage is deep bulk — it costs less than a sleeve. Price stability is a non-issue at this tier; it won't spike without a breakout Commander pairing, and even then it's the kind of card that gets reprinted easily.
