Ashnod's Harvester card art
Ashnod's Harvester exiles a creature from any graveyard every time it attacks — graveyard hate stapled to a repeatable threat for three mana. That's a real effect at a real rate, and it earns a slot in any black deck that needs to keep reanimator strategies in check without burning a removal spell.

In Commander, Ashnod's Harvester does quiet but meaningful work: graveyard strategies are everywhere, and a body that chips away at them every combat is harder to ignore than a one-shot Relic of Progenitus. Outside Commander, Ashnod's Harvester is legal in Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage, but those formats demand more efficient or more impactful graveyard interaction — dedicated hate pieces like Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void do the job faster and more thoroughly. It isn't banned anywhere relevant, but competitive constructed simply doesn't have room for a three-mana creature that exiles one card per attack when instant-speed alternatives exist.

Price Context

Current price

$0.05 bulk tier

At $0.05, Ashnod's Harvester is deep bulk — you're paying nearly nothing for a functional effect. Bulk rares rarely climb unless a deck breaks them, and nothing in the current metagame is hunting for this specific card, so don't expect movement.
