Sunpetal Grove sits in 34% of tracked multiplayer Commander decks on Playgroup Live, and 84% of drawn copies reach the battlefield, making it one of the most reliably-executed dual lands in the green-white slice of the format.

Sunpetal Grove appears in 606 of the 1794 distinct decks that have played a tracked multiplayer game on Playgroup Live, a 34% inclusion rate across all colors. That share is narrower than universal staples like Sol Ring, which is exactly what you'd expect from a land locked to green-white color identity.

The card's draw-to-play rate is the standout figure. 84% of drawn copies are played before the game ends, which is high for any card and especially high for a land that enters tapped unless you already control a Forest or a Plains. Median first-cast turn is 4, consistent with early-game mana development. 505 distinct players have brought it to tracked games, and the single heaviest contributor accounts for just 2% of all instances, so the data is well spread.

Sunpetal Grove is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and most other constructed formats. It is not legal in Standard, Pauper, or Pauper Commander, which limits its reach outside Commander pods. Within Commander, it functions as a reliable dual land for any deck whose color identity includes both green and white, entering untapped in the early turns when a Forest or Plains is already in play.

≥ -2.7pp

Players who cast this card win 29% of the time (n=231) , vs 25% when it never left the library (n=803).

When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 20% (n=43) — about the same as leaving it in the library. Those players survived long enough to draw it, so the gap above is about the card resolving, not just about surviving.

Observed gap +3.3pp; 95% confidence interval -2.7pp to +9.2pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.

Exile

The vast majority of Sunpetal Groves finish on the battlefield, which reflects both its 94% stickiness and the fact that lands are rarely removed in Commander. The small library count is a tracking artifact: only a handful of participations ended with the card never interacted with at all.

The commander list spans GW, GRW, GUW, BGRW, and four-color identities, showing that Sunpetal Grove earns its slot across a wide range of archetypes rather than clustering in one specific deck type.

Frequently Asked

How often is Sunpetal Grove drawn in a Commander game?

Across 1040 tracked multiplayer games where Sunpetal Grove was in the deck, it was drawn 24% of the time. That is a normal draw rate for a singleton land in a 100-card deck. Of 285 instances that reached a player's hand, 84% were played before the game concluded.

What turn does Sunpetal Grove usually get played?

Median first-cast turn is 4 in multiplayer games tracked on Playgroup Live. The distribution shows a cluster of early plays on turns 1 and 2, representing opening-hand copies, followed by a spread through the mid-game as players draw into it later. The p25 is turn 2 and p75 is turn 6, so most plays happen in the first half of a typical game.

Does casting Sunpetal Grove correlate with winning?

In 231 participations where Sunpetal Grove reached the battlefield, the win rate was 29% on a 4-player normalized baseline. In 803 participations where it stayed in the library, the win rate was 25%. The delta is +3.3 percentage points. Both buckets are well-sampled, but the delta is small enough to treat as directional rather than conclusive. A land that fixes mana is more a prerequisite for functioning than an independent win condition.

Is Sunpetal Grove banned anywhere?

Sunpetal Grove is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Historic, Alchemy, Timeless, Brawl, Gladiator, Duel Commander, and Oathbreaker. It is not legal in Standard, Pauper, Pauper Commander, or Old School. No Commander-format bans apply.

How concentrated is the Sunpetal Grove data among players?

The data is well spread. 505 distinct players have contributed instances of Sunpetal Grove to tracked games on Playgroup Live, and the single heaviest contributor accounts for just 2% of all instances. That is well below the 15% threshold where concentration starts to skew a card's statistics, so the numbers reflect a broad cross-section of the player base rather than one prolific pilot.

Which commanders most commonly run Sunpetal Grove?

The top commanders by raw deck count in the multiplayer dataset are Ms. Bumbleflower, Cloud Ex-SOLDIER, and Tidus, Yuna's Guardian. The spread of color identities across the top list confirms what you'd expect: Sunpetal Grove slots into any deck that touches both green and white, ranging from strict GW builds up through four- and five-color commanders that need reliable early fixing.
