Why is this card good?
High Market is a colorless utility land that quietly enables some of the most powerful lines in Commander while costing you almost nothing — it taps for mana when you don't need the sac outlet, so the slot is essentially free.
The real value is the free, repeatable sacrifice outlet on a land. That's huge for:
- Aristocrats decks that want to fling creatures to Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat triggers.
- Reanimator/persist/blink shells that need to sacrifice attached or dying-with-value creatures.
- Combo decks that need to sac an infinite token or a creature with a death trigger — and it dodges graveyard hate by being a land-based outlet.
- Saving a creature from theft/exile or sandbagging an attacker.
The lifegain is mostly incidental but occasionally relevant.
When not to play it: decks with no creatures to sacrifice, or heavily color-screwed manabases where a colorless source hurts your early-game consistency. Otherwise, if your deck cares about creatures dying at all, it's a near-automatic include.
