Bull Elephant is a 3/3 for four mana that enters the battlefield demanding you return two forests to your hand — a steep tempo penalty that leaves you mana-starved the following turn. The body doesn't compensate for the cost, and every format has better options at this slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Bull Elephant is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, a 3/3 for four that bounces two of your own lands is a liability — the format's power ceiling is too high to spend four mana setting yourself back two land drops. Pauper is the only format where Bull Elephant could theoretically see fringe play given the commons-only card pool, but even there the tempo loss is punishing and green has better bodies at the same cost.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Bull Elephant is deep bulk — you'll find it in common boxes or bulk lots rather than singles listings. The price reflects demand accurately: there's no competitive application driving it up, and that's unlikely to change.
