It see play in 3 formats: Commander, Pauper and Duel Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.02. It's a key card in 19 combos.

This Essence Warden card would be a great fit for a green and white lifegain deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it can provide a steady stream of life gain whenever creatures enter the battlefield. While Essence Warden is a solid choice for such a deck, players might also consider Soul Warden, which has a similar effect but triggers off any creature entering the battlefield, not just your own. Whether Essence Warden should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck, but it can certainly be a valuable addition for gaining life and maintaining board presence.
