Boartusk Liege drops onto the battlefield and immediately pumps every red and green creature you control by +1/+1 — and any creature that's both colors gets +2/+2 — turning a board of modest threats into a lethal one. Four mana for a persistent anthem effect on a 3/3 with trample is a fair rate, and the payoff scales hard in token-heavy or Gruul-heavy builds.

Commander is where Boartusk Liege lives — Gruul creature strategies and red/green token decks love a permanent anthem that also attacks as a 3/3 trampler. In Modern and Legacy it's legal but effectively absent; four mana for a lord with no immediate impact beyond the stat pump can't compete with the format's pace. Oathbreaker is the one fringe exception where a red-green creature-based game plan might actually want it as a supplementary anthem, though even there the competition is stiff.

Price Context
Current price
$0.58 bulk tier
At $0.58, Boartusk Liege sits firmly in bulk territory — exactly what you'd expect for a niche anthem with no crossover appeal outside creature-heavy Gruul Commander decks. The price is unlikely to move significantly in either direction; pick it up for pennies if it fits the build and don't think twice.
