Daghatar the Adamant card art
Daghatar the Adamant moves +1/+1 counters between any creatures you control for four mana — a repeatable counter redistribution engine that can shift resources from a stalled blocker to your best attacker each turn. The cost is steep: four mana per activation and a legendary 4/4 body that needs to survive to do any of it, which is why Antler Skulkin's protection ability matters more here than it looks.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict

vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Daghatar the Adamant is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but only Commander gives the activation room to breathe. In eternal formats with faster clocks, four mana to move a single counter is nowhere near competitive enough to justify the slot. In Commander, he finds a home as a support piece in +1/+1 counter strategies — Abzan counters, Vorinclex superfriends, or any shell that accumulates counters on many creatures and wants to funnel them onto one threat.

Price Context

Current price

$0.13 bulk tier

At $0.13, Daghatar the Adamant is deep bulk — you'll find him in a bargain bin or pulled from a bulk lot without effort. The price reflects his narrow role: he's not a staple and unlikely to see a spike unless a powerful new counter synergy drags him into relevance.
