Coastline Chimera is a 2/3 flyer that lets you funnel excess mana into a passive toughness boost — useful in decks that stockpile blue mana at instant speed but rarely worth a slot outside them. The ask is low, but so is the payoff.
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 |
Coastline Chimera is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees virtually no competitive play in any of them. In Pauper it's a common-legal flying blocker with a marginal activated ability — there are just better options at every point on the curve. In Commander, the only home that makes any sense is a blue-heavy spellslinger or tap-outlet deck where you're routinely floating mana at end step, and even there Coastline Chimera is on the fringe of justifiable.

Price Context
Current price
$0.03 bulk tier
At $0.03, Coastline Chimera is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and nothing else. That price is stable in the sense that there's no demand to move it; don't expect it to change in either direction.
