Aerie Ouphes card art
Aerie Ouphes enters, kills a flier, and if you have a +1/+1 counter on it — easiest with Renata, Called to the Hunt — it does it again on the way out. The cost is five mana for a 1/1 that trades for one creature; outside of dedicated counter and persist loops, that rate is too slow to justify a slot.

Aerie Ouphes sees essentially no play in Legacy, Vintage, or Modern — five mana for conditional removal stapled to a 1/1 body is uncompetitive at those power levels. Pauper is where Aerie Ouphes has the most theoretical traction, since the persist-loop ceiling is reachable at common and flying removal is genuinely useful in the format. Commander is its real home, specifically in decks that can generate +1/+1 counters at scale and weaponize the persist trigger repeatedly as a combo piece rather than a fair removal spell.

Price Context

Current price

$0.23 bulk tier

At $0.23, Aerie Ouphes is deep bulk — easy to pick up without thinking about cost. The price reflects its narrow application; it won't climb unless a new combo enabler pushes persist loops into wider play.
