Cursed Courtier enters and immediately populates your board with a Faerie token for each opponent — that's two to three free bodies in a typical Commander pod before you've spent a second card. The four-mana cost is fair for that floor, and the Faerie tribal typing matters in the decks that want it.

Commander is where Cursed Courtier actually delivers — three opponents means three 1/1 fliers the moment it resolves, which is a legitimate rate for a four-drop in token and Faerie strategies. In 1v1 formats like Modern, Pioneer, or Legacy, you get exactly one token, which puts it squarely in bulk territory where cheaper, more efficient token producers dominate. Standard gives it the most charitable competitive window by default, but even there it's a role-player at best, not a staple. Oathbreaker splits the difference between Commander and 1v1, usually netting two tokens, which is passable but rarely a reason to build around it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Cursed Courtier is deep bulk — a penny-bin pickup you grab as a filler, not a card you track down. Don't expect the price to move; it's a limited-print common with niche applications, and supply will keep it at the floor indefinitely.
