Corpsehatch kills a creature and leaves two 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn tokens behind — net mana positive if you sacrifice both. Five mana is a steep ask, but the refund makes it one of the few removal spells that also accelerates your next turn.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Corpsehatch sees essentially zero play in Legacy, Vintage, or Modern — five mana for removal is unacceptable in formats where two-mana interaction is already considered slow. Commander is the only realistic home, where the game pace justifies the cost and the Eldrazi Spawn tokens have clear payoffs in colorless, sacrifice, or Eldrazi tribal strategies. In Oathbreaker the cost is more punishing given the smaller life totals and faster clocks, but Eldrazi-themed Oathbreaker builds can still find a slot.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Corpsehatch is deep bulk — grab it out of a commons box or add it to any order padding. Bulk uncommons with narrow appeal don't climb in price, so there's no urgency beyond picking it up the moment you want it for a specific deck.
