Boggart Forager lets you mill a card from target player's library at the cost of sacrificing it — a one-shot, one-mana effect that does almost nothing on its own. It earns a slot only in dedicated sacrifice or Goblin synergy shells where the body and the death both pull weight.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Boggart Forager is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees virtually no competitive play in any of them. In Commander it shows up exclusively in Goblin tribal or aristocrats decks that need cheap sacrifice fodder — the mill-one effect is nearly irrelevant at a 100-card table, so you're running it for the tribe and the death trigger, not the ability. In Pauper it's a one-mana Goblin that does nothing relevant for any archetype that wants Goblins. Legacy and Vintage have far better one-mana options at every axis this card touches, so it doesn't register there either.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Boggart Forager is deep bulk — you're pulling it from a commons box, not buying it. There's no pressure on that price in either direction; it will stay at floor value unless a future Goblin or sacrifice combo prints a reason to care about this specific effect.
