Deathcurse Ogre enters and each opponent loses 3 life — that's a guaranteed 9 life swing in a four-player pod stapled to a 4/3 body for six mana. The cost is the problem: six mana for a one-time, non-repeatable drain that doesn't affect the board state is well below the rate Commander demands.

In Commander, Deathcurse Ogre is a bulk-bin card — six mana is a real ask, and a 4/3 that drains 3 from each opponent doesn't close games or generate card advantage. Pauper is the one format where it has any traction, since the common card pool is shallow enough that a six-mana body with a lifedrain trigger can show up in slower black decks. In Legacy and Vintage, it doesn't see play; those formats end games before you reach six mana with anything this low-impact.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Deathcurse Ogre is deep bulk — it costs less than a sleeve. That price reflects its actual demand: it doesn't slot into competitive lists in any format, so don't expect it to appreciate.
