Conscripted Infantry enters the battlefield as a 2/2 with a built-in death trigger that can chain directly into Nim Deathmantle loops or any sacrifice-matters engine, making the real cost the deckbuilding slot, not the mana. At two mana with a relevant body and a graveyard-interaction staple on death, it earns its place in any Commander deck that wants repeatable fuel.
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 |
Conscripted Infantry is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but Commander is where it actually matters. In Pauper it competes with a deep bench of efficient two-drops and rarely makes the cut outside dedicated sacrifice builds. In Legacy and Vintage the card is simply too fair to register. Commander is the format where its death trigger generates real value across a long game, especially in aristocrats and reanimator shells that want cheap, recursive fodder.

Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Conscripted Infantry sits firmly in bulk territory — a rounding error on any order. Bulk rares trend toward zero over time, not up, so pick it up for gameplay reasons and ignore any notion of monetary upside.
