World Queller puts a clock on every permanent type simultaneously — each upkeep, every player sacrifices a land, or a creature, or a planeswalker, whatever you name, and you get to choose what hurts them most. The cost is a 5/4 for five mana with no evasion that dies to any removal spell before the trigger ever fires.
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 |
Commander is where World Queller actually gets to breathe — four opponents means four sacrifices per trigger, and if you build around sacrifice synergies or indestructible permanents you can pull ahead fast. Outside Commander, it's legal in Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially no play in any of those formats; five mana for a creature that requires another upkeep before it does anything is too slow against the threats those formats present. World Queller is a Commander card that happens to be technically legal elsewhere.

Price Context
Current price
$0.32 bulk tier
At $0.32, World Queller is deep bulk — the kind of card you find in a dollar box without looking. The effect is powerful enough that the price could tick up if a popular commander shell puts it on the radar, but at this tier it's essentially free to try.
