Deadshot deals damage equal to a target creature's power to another target creature — conditional removal stapled to a three-mana instant with no card-neutral downside if both targets are live. It earns a slot in red decks that consistently field large attackers, and nowhere else.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Commander is where Deadshot sees the most play, specifically in aggressive red strategies that can point a Blightsteel Colossus or a pumped Zurgo Helmsmasher at a problem creature and convert board presence into removal. Legacy and Vintage have access to it, but neither format gives red decks a reason to run Deadshot over cheaper, unconditional options. Outside of Commander, the card is effectively irrelevant.

Price Context
Current price
$0.41 bulk tier
At $0.41, Deadshot is deep bulk — the kind of card you find in a collection box rather than a singles order. The price reflects narrow demand and zero competitive crossover, so don't expect movement in either direction.
