Chasm Drake gives a creature unblockable until end of turn when it attacks — a 3/2 flyer that also punches a path for your best threat. Six mana for that package is too slow and too replaceable to earn a slot in competitive Commander lists.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Chasm Drake is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but the only format where it has a plausible argument is Pauper, where the common card pool is constrained enough that a flying body plus an unblockable enabler on one card has marginal value. In Commander, six mana for a 3/2 with a conditional combat trick is simply underpowered — evasion-granting effects at this cost need to do more to justify the slot. Legacy, Modern, and Vintage have no interest in Chasm Drake at any stage of the game.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Chasm Drake is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not card value. That price is stable because demand is effectively zero, so don't expect movement in either direction.
