The take
Expropriate is one of the strongest political finishers blue has ever printed, and the confusion around it is a rules literacy problem, not a design problem.
$14.39
and still one of the highest-impact sorceries in mono-blue Commander despite being nine years old
Plays well with
-
Insurrection
Both are blue's version of a 'win the game' button that swings a multiplayer table hard enough to end it outright.
-
Time Stretch
If your deck can already afford eight mana for a game-swinging sorcery, ramping into Time Stretch's cost feels trivial by comparison, so the two get built around the same mana base.
-
Omniscience
A tutor plan that fetches Omniscience covers the awkward case where Expropriate gets stuck in hand, letting you cast it free instead of waiting to hard-cast a seven-mana sorcery.
Expropriate Price Summary
The benchmark price (cheapest playable nonfoil) is $13.89, up 1.0% over 7 days, up 4.6% over 30 days, down 5.1% over 90 days.

Expropriate Rulings
- Sep 20, 2024
Each player must vote for one of the available options. They can't abstain.
- Sep 20, 2024
No player votes until Expropriate resolves. Any responses to the spell must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
- Sep 20, 2024
Votes are cast in turn order, and each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
- Aug 23, 2016
Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
- Aug 23, 2016
If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council's dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won't generate an effect.
