Aurochs is a 2/3 trampler for three mana that gets +1/+0 for each other Aurochs attacking — a bonus that requires a tribal infrastructure that doesn't exist at a competitive level. Outside a dedicated Aurochs theme deck, it's a vanilla 2/3 with a dead ability.
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 | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Aurochs is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal and playable are different things. In Commander, it has no meaningful home — there's no Aurochs commander, and the creature type doesn't overlap with any supported tribal synergies. In Pauper, where commons get real scrutiny, a three-mana 2/3 with a conditional pump doesn't clear the bar when green has access to far more efficient threats. Legacy and Vintage are non-conversations. Aurochs is a collectible curiosity, not a format player.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Aurochs sits firmly in bulk territory, and that price reflects the demand accurately. There's no competitive application pulling it upward, so expect it to stay there.
