Beast Attack puts a 4/4 trample token on the board at instant speed, then replaces itself in the graveyard with a reusable copy via flashback — six total power across two casts for six mana. The value is real, but the split cost and slow speed mean Beast Attack belongs in attrition grinds, not fast tables.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the correct home for Beast Attack — long games with multiple opponents give you time to cast the front half, survive long enough to flash it back, and actually leverage two separate token triggers for aristocrats, populate, or token-doubler payoffs. Legacy is technically legal but Beast Attack sees no play there; five and six mana across two casts is an eternity in a format defined by free interaction and turn-two kills. Vintage is the same story: legal, irrelevant. If you're running Beast Attack, it's in a Commander pod, full stop.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Beast Attack is deep bulk — grab a copy from any common box without thinking about it. Demand is too casual and supply too wide for this to move off the floor.
