Deadeye Rig-Hauler bounces an opponent's creature when it enters — useful tempo, but a 3/2 body for five mana is a steep price for that effect. It sees play almost exclusively in decks that abuse enter-the-battlefield triggers, where the bounce becomes a repeatable engine rather than a one-off.

Deadeye Rig-Hauler is irrelevant in competitive formats — five mana for a bounce effect is not a rate Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer are willing to pay. Pauper is the most interesting home outside Commander, where the common slot and ETB bounce can matter in slower, grindier builds. In Commander, it earns a slot in Brago, King Eternal or Yarok, the Desecrated shells that blink it repeatedly, turning each bounce into a recurring answer rather than a single tempo play.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Deadeye Rig-Hauler is pure bulk — buy a dozen without thinking about it. Demand is too narrow and supply too plentiful for the price to move in either direction.
