Aerathi Berserker hits for 5 with trample when it connects, but a 3/2 body for five mana that requires rampage to matter is too fragile and too expensive to earn a slot in competitive lists. Play it in a themed berserker or rampage build, nowhere else.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Aerathi Berserker is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no play in any of them. In Commander, five mana for a 3/2 with a conditional trample trigger is well below the power floor — the format's high-power removal and blockers mean rampage rarely triggers for more than once before the card is gone. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest in a five-mana vanilla-adjacent creature when those formats are defined by efficiency measured in one and two mana. Oathbreaker has the same Commander-style problems at a smaller table, which makes Aerathi Berserker's clunky cost hurt even more.

Price Context
Current price
$2.87 cheap tier
At $2.87, Aerathi Berserker sits in cheap territory almost entirely because of age and scarcity rather than demand. It holds that price as a modest collectible curiosity, not because anyone is actively sleeving it up.
