Doomgape card art
Doomgape hits the board as a 10/10 trample that gains you life every upkeep — think Serra Avatar stapled to a threat that demands an answer immediately. The catch is the mandatory sacrifice of a creature each upkeep, which makes it a liability in decks that can't reliably feed it.

Commander is where Doomgape actually has a home — sacrifice synergy commanders can exploit the forced upkeep trigger rather than suffer it, and a 10/10 trampler is a legitimate clock in a format full of life totals starting at 40. In Legacy and Vintage, seven mana for a creature with no immediate protection is unplayable; faster, cheaper threats dominate both formats. Doomgape is legal in Oathbreaker but faces the same speed problem at seven mana.

Price Context

Current price

$0.68 bulk tier

At $0.68, Doomgape sits firmly in bulk territory and is unlikely to climb — it's a casual Commander card with a narrow home and no competitive demand pulling the price up. Pick it up freely for the right deck; there's no urgency and no floor to worry about.
