Carnivorous Moss-Beast is a 4/5 trampler for seven mana that gains a +1/+1 counter whenever a land enters under your control — respectable stats, irrelevant ability at that cost. Seven mana for a vanilla-sized threat with incremental upside is not a competitive rate in any format that has better options.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Carnivorous Moss-Beast is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different things. In Commander, heavy land-ramp decks like Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait or Amulet of Vigor shells occasionally want big green bodies that reward land drops, but Carnivorous Moss-Beast competes with creatures that either win the game outright or generate immediate card advantage at the same cost. In Pauper it's technically available, but the format's green threats are efficient one- and two-drops — a seven-mana 4/5 never makes the cut. Legacy, Modern, and Vintage have no use for it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Carnivorous Moss-Beast is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a draft chaff box, not a trade binder. There is no price floor to protect here; it holds that $0.06 only because bulk has a floor, not because demand exists.
