Corrupt Eunuchs enters the battlefield and deals 2 damage to target creature or planeswalker — a 3/1 body with a removal rider stapled on for four mana. Red can do better on both counts separately, so you run this when you need the effect on a creature for tribal or aristocrats synergy, not because it's efficient.

Commander is the only realistic home for Corrupt Eunuchs. Four mana for a 3/1 with a 2-damage ping is below rate for Legacy and Vintage, where the competition is far stiffer and no tribal or aristocrats engine makes the inefficiency worth absorbing. In Commander, the card earns its slot only in creature-count-matters builds or sacrifice loops where the enter-the-battlefield damage is a repeatable resource — otherwise cheaper removal and better bodies exist at every point on the curve. Oathbreaker is legal but faces the same efficiency ceiling.

Budget Alternatives
Cheaper options that do most of the same work
Magma Jet and Lightning Strike give you the damage for one mana with no body attached — worse if you need a creature, better if you just need the effect gone. If the creature type is what you're after, Voldaren Epicure is a one-mana 1/1 that deals 1 damage and creates a Blood token, trading raw damage for more value at a fraction of the cost compared to Corrupt Eunuchs.
Price Context
Current price
$8.54 mid tier
At $8.54, Corrupt Eunuchs sits in the mid tier — elevated for a card with narrow applications, driven almost entirely by Reserved List status. That price is unlikely to fall but is also hard to justify for casual play when functional alternatives cost under a dollar.
