Dimir Informant is a three-mana 1/3 with Surveil 2 on entry — solid library manipulation stapled to an underwhelming body. The effect is real but the rate is not; better Surveil payoffs exist at lower costs.

Dimir Informant sees essentially no competitive play across any format, and that's the honest read. In Commander, Surveil 2 on a three-mana 1/3 isn't pulling weight when Surveil commanders like Lazav, the Multifarious or Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker want density and efficiency rather than a vanilla body attached to the effect. Pauper is the format most likely to care about Dimir Informant, where commons with any library manipulation have at least theoretical homes in grind-heavy control shells. In Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, the card simply doesn't meet the power threshold.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Dimir Informant is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and postage, not the card. That price is stable because demand is essentially zero; it won't spike without a dramatic shift in what Surveil-matters commanders want.
