Akki Drillmaster gives any creature haste until end of turn for two mana — no conditions, no hoops. The cost is running a 2/1 body that does nothing else, which makes it strictly a haste-enabler slot competing against cheaper and more versatile options.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Akki Drillmaster sees essentially zero play in Legacy, Vintage, or Modern, where purpose-built haste enablers like Lightning Greaves cost less mana and offer more utility. In Pauper it's technically legal but faces stiff competition from common haste-granters that come with relevant bodies or lower activation costs. Commander is where Akki Drillmaster finds its only real home — specifically in mono-red creature-centric decks that want redundant, budget haste sources and can't always rely on greaves or Lightning Mauler being available.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Akki Drillmaster is pure bulk — a throw-in pick when you're sleeving up a budget Krenko list and need haste redundancy without spending anything. It won't appreciate; it's a narrow common with better alternatives, so treat the price as a floor that reflects that ceiling.
