Chakram Slinger turns every untap effect into a damage trigger — in the right shell, that's a repeatable pinger that scales with your engine. The five-mana cost is steep for a 2/4, so it earns its slot only when you're already generating multiple untap events per turn.

Chakram Slinger is a Commander card through and through — the format's longer games and untap-synergy commanders are the only context where its triggered ability pays off consistently. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but irrelevant; five mana for a creature that does nothing the turn it enters is nowhere near the power level those formats demand. Commander is where untap loops and tap-outlet synergies flourish, and Chakram Slinger slots into that ecosystem as a damage outlet that doesn't require combat.

Price Context
Current price
$0.19 bulk tier
At $0.19, Chakram Slinger is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. It's unlikely to move unless a new untap-synergy commander spikes demand, so grab copies freely without any concern about price.
