Chandra's Magmutt is a one-trick 1/2 — tap to deal 1 damage to any target, then untap at your next end step — and that trick is rarely worth a card slot in competitive play. The only place it earns its keep is alongside Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh, where it counts as a loyalty-building pinger.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh
Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh flips into a planeswalker by dealing 3 damage with red spells and abilities in a single turn, and Chandra's Magmutt is one of the few one-drop pingers that contributes a damage pip toward that threshold while also synergizing with any Chandra-tribal payoffs in the 99.

In Commander, Chandra's Magmutt is a niche include — it belongs in exactly one deck, the Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh flip-tribal build, and it's surplus to requirements in every other red shell. Pauper is the only competitive format where a repeatable one-damage pinger sees any real consideration, and even there it competes with more efficient options. In Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage, Chandra's Magmutt doesn't clear the bar — one toughness bodies that deal 1 damage on tap aren't doing enough in formats with faster clocks and higher power density. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander verdict: relevant only if your signature spell or planeswalker is Chandra-themed.

Price Context
Current price
$0.19 bulk tier
At $0.19, Chandra's Magmutt is pure bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. It holds no meaningful value; demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to move unless a future Chandra-tribal payoff dramatically changes the calculus.
