Cyclops of One-Eyed Pass is a vanilla 5/2 for four mana — no abilities, no upside, just a stat line that trades poorly with nearly everything at that cost. The power-to-toughness ratio makes it a one-hit attacker at best and a liability in any board state that fights back.
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 |
Cyclops of One-Eyed Pass is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, a 5/2 vanilla at four mana competes against creatures that come with ETB effects, keywords, or combo relevance — it loses that competition badly. Pauper is the one format where aggressive commons can carve out a niche, but even there a 5/2 with no evasion or protection folds to a 1/1 blocker and trades down on card equity. Across every format where it's legal, better options exist at the same cost.
