Accursed Spirit is a 3/2 intimidate for four mana — it hits most of the time, but four mana for a vanilla-adjacent body is a bad rate in any format with better options. Bulk rare bins exist for a reason, and this is why.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Accursed Spirit is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Pauper it faces a deep pool of efficient black commons that do more for less. In Commander, four mana for a 3/2 — even with evasion — doesn't move the needle when you're competing against spells that affect the whole board. Intimidate is genuinely useful in creature-heavy metas, but Accursed Spirit offers no ETB, no activated ability, and no scaling — it's a beater that stops being a threat the moment an opponent plays black or artifact creatures.

Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Accursed Spirit is deep bulk — the price reflects exactly what it is. Don't expect movement; commons and near-vanilla uncommons at this tier stay flat indefinitely.
