Boggart Trawler // Boggart Bog gives you a Goblin that loots on entry and a land that makes black or red mana — two meaningful effects stapled to one card slot. The cost is that neither half is exceptional on its own, so you're running it because Ketramose, the New Dawn or a similar engine makes the card-cycling matter, not because the floor is high.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Ketramose, the New Dawn
Ketramose, the New Dawn rewards casting spells from exile and drawing extra cards, so the loot trigger on Boggart Trawler // Boggart Bog feeds the engine directly — you're cycling toward gas while advancing the board.
Grub, Storied Matriarch
Grub, Storied Matriarch cares about creatures entering and dying, and Boggart Trawler // Boggart Bog slots in as a cheap Goblin that replaces itself on entry, keeping the creature count high without losing card equity.
Wort, Boggart Auntie
Wort, Boggart Auntie recurs Goblins from the graveyard, and the loot on Boggart Trawler // Boggart Bog helps you pitch Goblins you want to rebuy — turning the discard into part of the graveyard engine rather than a cost.
Gwenom, Remorseless
Gwenom, Remorseless wants cheap, disposable creatures to sacrifice and pressure opponents, and Boggart Trawler // Boggart Bog fills that role while cantripping, so it never fully bricks in hand.
Rakdos, the Muscle
Rakdos, the Muscle leans on a steady stream of creatures to deal damage and generate value, and Boggart Trawler // Boggart Bog contributes a body plus a loot without demanding much investment in the mana curve.

Commander is the natural home for Boggart Trawler // Boggart Bog — Goblin tribal and Rakdos-value shells both want the flexibility of a creature that smooths draws and a land that fixes mana, and the MDFC structure means it never purely clogs a hand. In Legacy and Vintage, neither half clears the bar for those formats' power requirements, and Goblin decks there have access to strictly better options at every point on the curve. Modern is the same story — the loot effect is too slow and the land enters tapped, which is a meaningful cost in a format that punishes tempo losses. This card lives and dies in Commander, where the 100-card singleton pressure to find two-for-ones in one card slot is high enough to make Boggart Trawler // Boggart Bog a legitimate include in the right deck.

Price Context
Current price
$0.90 bulk tier
At $0.90, Boggart Trawler // Boggart Bog sits at the top of bulk pricing — cheap enough to pick up without thought, but not so cheap it gets ignored in trade binders. MDFCs with tribal relevance tend to hold modest value as long as their supported archetypes stay popular, so this price is about as stable as bulk gets.
