Agency Coroner mills three and puts a +1/+1 counter on itself when a creature dies — stapling a body-growing threat onto graveyard disruption at four mana. It's a fine limited card that rarely earns a Commander slot.

In Commander, Agency Coroner competes for a spot in decks that want both a persistent threat and incremental mill or self-mill, and it rarely wins that competition — four mana for a 2/2 with a conditional upside is below the curve when Phenax, God of Deception and similar commanders demand more efficient pieces. In 60-card formats like Pioneer and Modern, mill strategies want faster, higher-volume payoffs, so Agency Coroner sits well outside the competitive pool. Pauper is the closest to a home, where commons with repeatable upside can find a niche in slower self-mill brews, though even there the four-mana ask is steep.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Agency Coroner is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. That price reflects its ceiling accurately, and there's no realistic scenario where demand pushes it higher.
