Cogwork Tracker is a six-mana 4/4 that forces your opponents to attack with their creatures — but only at the creature's controller's choice of target, which means the threat redirection is far less reliable than it looks. The payoff is too conditional and the body too undersized for the cost to justify a slot in most 99s.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Cogwork Tracker is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it only has a real home in Commander. Legacy and Vintage move too fast for a six-mana creature with no immediate board impact, and the forced-attack effect is irrelevant in those formats' threat landscapes. In Commander, the card fits narrowly into goad and forced-combat strategies where making opponents swing into each other is the whole point — outside that niche, a vanilla 4/4 for six with a marginal tap ability doesn't clear the bar.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Cogwork Tracker is firmly bulk, and that price reflects its power level accurately. Demand is narrow enough that there's no pressure pushing it higher — pick it up if you need it, but don't expect the price to move.
