Mosswort Bridge
84% of drawn Mosswort Bridges are played before the game ends — the highest draw-to-play rate among tracked lands on Playgroup Live, with a median first-cast turn of 5.
Mosswort Bridge converts a tapped green mana source into a free spell the moment your board reaches 10 total power. In 132 tracked games, players slam it 84% of the time once it reaches their hand — one of the cleanest "play it the moment you see it" signals in the dataset.
The broader context is a niche but purposeful inclusion: Mosswort Bridge sits in just 5% of tracked Commander decks. Every commander at the top of its list runs creatures that get large fast, which is exactly what the Hideaway 4 condition demands. When it does hit the battlefield, it sticks 97% of the time — lands are hard to remove, and opponents rarely bother trying.
One honest caveat: the win-rate numbers cut against simple narratives here. Decks that cast Mosswort Bridge won 39% of their games, while decks where it sat in the library won 47%. That negative delta is worth noting, though both sample sizes are below the threshold for strong conclusions. The early signal suggests Mosswort Bridge is a role-player rather than a win condition in its own right.

174 broughtOf 142 Mosswort Bridges brought to games, 38 were drawn and 33 of those were cast — an 84% conversion rate from hand to battlefield that reflects how rarely players find a reason to hold it once they have it.
Players who cast this card win 39% of the time (n=38) , vs 46% when it never left the library (n=127).

How often is Mosswort Bridge drawn in a Commander game? ▾
Mosswort Bridge was drawn in 27% of the deck-participations where it was in the 100-card library. That is slightly above average for a singleton land, reflecting the fact that Mosswort Bridge decks tend to have lower overall land counts and use tutors to find key pieces. Of the 38 instances that reached a hand, 33 were cast before the game ended.
What turn does Mosswort Bridge typically enter the battlefield? ▾
The median first-cast turn is 5, with the 25th percentile at turn 1 (opening-hand keeps) and the 75th percentile at turn 6. The distribution is bimodal: 10 of 33 casts happened on turn 1, suggesting players who kept it in their opener played it immediately, while the rest clustered around turns 5–7 when the curve naturally arrives.
Does casting Mosswort Bridge actually help you win? ▾
The data so far suggests caution. Games where Mosswort Bridge was cast show a 39% win rate across 33 observations, while games where it stayed in the library show a 47% win rate across 102 observations. That negative delta of 7.7 points is directional, not conclusive — both buckets are below the threshold for statistical confidence. One plausible explanation: the decks most likely to cast it are all-in creature strategies that are also easy to disrupt before the Hideaway trigger pays off.
Which commanders run Mosswort Bridge most often? ▾
Ureni of the Unwritten and Me, the Immortal lead with 13 and 12 decks respectively, both Temur (green-red-blue) builds. Bello, Bard of the Brambles and Pantlaza, Sun-Favored each appear in 10 tracked decks. The through-line across all of them is a creature base that reliably reaches or exceeds 10 total power — the exact threshold the card's activated ability requires.
Is Mosswort Bridge legal in Commander? ▾
Yes. Mosswort Bridge is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Duel Commander, Oathbreaker, and preDH formats. It is not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Alchemy, Brawl, Pauper, or Pauper Commander. The color identity is mono-green, so it slots into any Commander deck whose commander has green in its color identity.
Why is Mosswort Bridge played in creature-heavy decks specifically? ▾
The activated ability — play the exiled card for free — only triggers when your creatures have 10 or more total power. That threshold is trivial in dedicated stompy or large-creature builds, where a single creature can exceed it, but unreachable in spell-heavy or token-swarm decks that spread power across many small bodies. The reward is a free spell off any top-four card, which at no extra mana cost represents enormous value in ramp-heavy green strategies that already flood the board early.
