Cerodon Yearling is a 2/2 with vigilance and haste for two mana — a clean, aggressive body that attacks and blocks in the same turn. It's a fine curve-filler in formats that reward those keywords, and nothing more.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Cerodon Yearling sees essentially no competitive play across any format. In Commander, the card pool is too large and the power bar too high for a vanilla-statted two-drop to earn a slot outside of dedicated Boros aggro or creature-type synergy builds. In Pauper, where efficient commons matter most, a 2/2 for two with no enters-the-battlefield effect and no tribal tag is outclassed by nearly every comparable threat. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters. The only home where Cerodon Yearling pulls its weight is a budget or casual Commander deck specifically built around vigilance or haste payoffs — and even there, better options exist at the same price point.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Cerodon Yearling is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a commons box rather than a trade binder. There's no price upside to track here; it's a pickup only if the deck genuinely needs it, and the ask is low enough that cost is never the reason to skip it.
