Yeva's Forcemage enters the battlefield and immediately pumps a target creature +2/+2 until end of turn — flash-in threat or combat trick stapled to a 2/2 body for three mana. The rate is low for any format where tempo matters, but in token-flood or ETB-abuse shells it earns its slot.

Yeva's Forcemage is a bulk common for good reason outside niche spaces: three mana for a 2/2 with a one-shot pump trigger doesn't clear the bar in Legacy, Vintage, or even Modern, where the same mana buys permanents with lasting impact. Pauper is the one constructed format where it sees occasional fringe play in green stompy lists that want bodies and incidental power boosts on the same card. In Commander, Yeva's Forcemage is a role-player strictly in ETB-value decks — blink and flicker commanders that chain enter-the-battlefield triggers can loop the pump repeatedly, and the flash on green creatures (via commanders like Yeva, Nature's Herald) makes the surprise combat trick relevant. Everywhere else, cut it for something with a longer-lasting effect.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Yeva's Forcemage is deep bulk — you're not buying it for value, you're sleeving a spare copy from a draft chaff pile. The price has nowhere meaningful to go; demand is too narrow and supply too wide for any upward movement.
