Colos Yearling is a two-mana 1/1 with mountainwalk and a triggered ability that puts a +1/+1 counter on it when you play a Mountain — playable in niche landfall or mountainwalk-matters builds, irrelevant everywhere else. The stat line is too modest and the payoff too conditional to justify a slot outside those specific shells.

In Commander, Colos Yearling is a fringe inclusion in mono-red or Gruul landfall decks that can exploit mountainwalk as a consistent evasion source — against red opponents it's effectively unblockable, which matters more in longer games. In Pauper, the common pool is competitive enough that a 1/1 for two with a slow growth trigger doesn't clear the bar; the format has better two-drops at every axis. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters — Colos Yearling doesn't interact with anything those formats care about. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander read: narrow but not zero, specifically in red-heavy Mountain-dense builds where mountainwalk punishes common color identities.

Current price

At $0.12, Colos Yearling is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. Bulk commons don't hold or gain value, so grab it from a trade binder or a cheap lot rather than a singles order.
