Crocanura puts a 2/4 reach body on the board for three mana — fine stats, but the real draw is the Frog tribal tag it carries for Grolnok, the Omnivore synergy. Outside that specific shell, it's a vanilla-adjacent creature with nothing else to offer.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Grolnok, the Omnivore
Grolnok, the Omnivore wants every Frog it can find, and Crocanura fills the tribal count while providing a reach blocker that buys time for the mill-and-cast engine to pay off.
Clement, the Worrywort
Clement, the Worrywort cares about creatures entering and generating value from the board state, and Crocanura's three-mana cost slots cleanly into the curve Clement decks want to populate.
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 |
Crocanura is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but meaningful play is almost entirely confined to Commander. In Pauper it competes against far more efficient common creatures and sees no real play. In Modern and Legacy the bar for a 2/4 reach at three mana is nowhere near cleared without a relevant type or ability stapled on. Commander is where Crocanura earns its slot, specifically in Frog-tribal builds, and outside that context it's a bench card in any format.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Crocanura is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. It will stay at this price floor indefinitely unless a pushed Frog commander dramatically spikes demand for the tribe.
