Corrupted Harvester hits the board as a 6/5 with menace that pays for itself over time by sacrificing other creatures to gain life and generate tokens. The setup cost is real — six mana and a steady supply of fodder — but in the right shell it's a resilient, self-fueling threat that closes games without additional support.

Commander is where Corrupted Harvester actually has a home — sacrifice synergy is one of the format's most supported archetypes, and six mana is routine in a 40-life multiplayer game. In Legacy and Vintage it's unplayable; those formats simply don't pay six for a creature that requires additional investment to generate value. Modern is legal but equally uninterested — the card is too slow and too dependent on a board state that faster decks will never let you build. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's conditions closely enough that the same Aristocrats-style commanders make it worthwhile there too.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Corrupted Harvester is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box without thinking twice. Bulk rares with narrow synergy requirements rarely recover value, so treat this as a free inclusion rather than an acquisition.
