Battering Krasis is a 2/1 trampler for three mana — the rate is bad and the body dies to everything. It sees play almost exclusively in Simic evolve shells where the trample keyword has incidental value, and even there it competes poorly against superior three-drops.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Battering Krasis is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but seeing it in any competitive list would be a surprise. In Commander it occasionally shows up in evolve or +1/+1 counter builds as a filler body, but the format's power level demands more than a 2/1 with trample for three. In Pauper it's the most plausible home — common-legal trample creatures have a real bar to clear, and Battering Krasis doesn't clear it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Battering Krasis is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not card. There's no competitive demand to push this above a nickel, and that's unlikely to change.
