Discourtesy Clerk puts a Hunt counter on target player the moment it enters — that's the payoff, and it's immediate. The cost is three restrictions baked into the card text, but in Commander, where The Most Dangerous Gamer turns Hunt counters into a resource engine, those restrictions are largely academic.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | banned |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | banned |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | banned |
Discourtesy Clerk carries three hard restrictions: it's banned in Legacy, banned in Vintage, and banned in Oathbreaker — which leaves Commander as its only legal home among competitive and semi-competitive formats. Those bans speak to how warped the card becomes when tutors and fast mana collapse the restrictions into nothing. Commander gives it a pass because the singleton rule and 40-life cushion slow the most degenerate lines enough that the format's rules committee has left it alone — for now.
