Argivian Cavalier puts a 2/2 Knight token into play the moment it enters, so you're getting two bodies for one card — that's the whole pitch. The cost is that both the Cavalier and the token are vanilla creatures, so the floor is low if you're not in a deck that rewards artifact creatures or token count.

In Commander, Argivian Cavalier earns its slot in artifact-token decks that want bodies for sacrifice, equipment, or artifact-count payoffs — think Breya, Etherium Shaper or Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer shells. Outside Commander, Pauper is where Argivian Cavalier has the most plausible case, since two-for-one bodies at common are genuinely scarce and artifact synergies like Deadly Dispute and Affinity reward the creature type. In Modern and Pioneer it's too slow and too underpowered to compete with purpose-built artifact packages.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Argivian Cavalier is deep bulk — grab a playset without thinking. Don't expect the price to move; it's a common with narrow application and no constructed demand to drive a spike.
