Burning Palm Efreet deals 2 damage to target player or planeswalker whenever it attacks, but at 4 mana for a 3/3 with no evasion, that rate is well below the bar in any competitive context. There are cleaner ways to ping face, and almost none of them cost this much for this little body.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Burning Palm Efreet is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, the attack trigger is too slow and too small — 2 damage to one player across a four-player table is negligible, and a 3/3 for four without evasion or protection gets chump-blocked into irrelevance by turn five. Legacy and Vintage have access to creatures that win the game outright for the same or less mana, so Burning Palm Efreet doesn't register there either. Oathbreaker is the one format where targeting a planeswalker directly with the trigger has some marginal appeal, but even there better options exist.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Burning Palm Efreet is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. That price is stable because demand is essentially zero, so don't expect movement in either direction.
