Amok gives every creature with a +1/+1 counter on it trample until end of turn — at instant speed, for one mana. It's a narrow effect, but in counters-matter decks it turns a lethal board state into an unblockable one.
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 |
Amok is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's only ever a serious consideration in Commander, where counters synergies are deep enough to justify a slot. In Legacy and Vintage, the effect is too situational to compete — those formats want interaction that matters on its own, not a pump spell contingent on board state. In Commander, Amok earns its slot specifically in Atraxa, Praetors' Voice or Hardened Scales-style builds where a wide board of counters creatures needs one spell to close a game that would otherwise stall behind chump blockers.

Price Context
Current price
$0.37 bulk tier
At $0.37, Amok is bulk — you're not paying for scarcity, you're paying for cardboard. The price is stable at this floor and unlikely to move unless a prominent counters commander spikes demand.
