Wrench deals 2 damage to any target and makes the opponent discard a card — two effects stapled together for two mana. It's a clean rate, but splitting damage and discard rarely lines up well enough to justify the slot over dedicated removal or draw.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Wrench is legal but competes in a format where two mana buys you unconditional removal or meaningful card selection — splitting 2 damage and one discard across four opponents dilutes both halves to near-irrelevance. In 1v1 formats like Modern and Pioneer, the damage-plus-discard combination has more bite, but Wrench still undersells itself next to dedicated options at the same cost. Legacy and Vintage have the card pool to make this look embarrassing. Standard is the most charitable environment, where the hybrid effect can generate tempo in aggressive shells that want to trade resources efficiently.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Wrench is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. That price is stable by definition; there's no demand ceiling to push it higher.
