Boros Elite hits as a 3/3 for one mana whenever you attack with two or more creatures — that's legitimate stats for the cost. It's a role-player, not a headliner, and it earns its slot only if your deck is built to trigger battalion consistently.

In Commander, Boros Elite is a fringe include: token and go-wide strategies can trigger battalion easily, but a vanilla 3/3 with no evasion gets outclassed fast at a 100-card table. Pauper is its best home — white weenie and Boros aggro shells can chain attacks where a 3/3 on turn one closes games before opponents stabilize. Modern and Pioneer have long since passed Boros Elite by; one-drops in those formats need to threaten the game on their own, and battalion requires setup. Legacy is technically legal but irrelevant at that power level.

Price Context
Current price
$0.19 bulk tier
At $0.19, Boros Elite is bulk — you're buying it out of a common box, not tracking it on a price site. Bulk one-drops don't move unless they get reprinted into a precon or suddenly break a format, and neither is on the horizon here.
