Bladetusk Boar is a four-mana 3/2 that can't be blocked by more than one creature — a fine Limited card that has no business in constructed formats where four mana buys threats that actually close games. Pass on it everywhere except the most casual tables.
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 |
Bladetusk Boar is legal in Commander, Pauper, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different conversations. In Pauper, where the common-only restriction tightens the card pool, it still loses to cheaper or more impactful creatures at every step of the curve. In Commander, a 3/2 with quasi-evasion doesn't threaten a 40-life opponent, and the single-blocker restriction rarely matters when opponents control three or four creatures anyway. No competitive 60-card format considers Bladetusk Boar.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Bladetusk Boar sits firmly in bulk territory — the kind of price that reflects near-zero demand rather than scarcity. It holds that value in the sense that it can't really fall further, but there's no meaningful upside to holding copies.
