Baloth Woodcrasher lands as a 4/4 with trample that can swing as an 8/8 or larger the turn it enters — free if you're making land drops. The cost is a six-mana floor that makes it a mid-to-late-game piece, never an early answer.

Baloth Woodcrasher is a Commander card through and through — the format's slower clock and landfall synergies are exactly where a six-mana conditional beater earns its slot. In dedicated landfall decks or alongside fetchlands and land-ramp spells, it regularly swings for 10 or more trample damage in a single combat step. Legacy, Modern, and Vintage are legal on paper, but six mana for a conditional creature with no enters-battlefield effect or protection is unplayable in any of those formats. Stick to Commander, where the battlefield lives long enough for Baloth Woodcrasher to matter.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Baloth Woodcrasher is deep bulk — you'll find it in dollar bins or pick up a playset for less than a pack of sleeves. Bulk rares with narrow competitive applications don't appreciate, so treat this as a cheap role-player you grab without thinking, not a spec.
