Dragon Moose is a 4/4 trampler for five mana that requires you to pay additional mana each upkeep or sacrifice it — a steep ongoing tax that makes it unreliable as a threat. The baseline stats don't justify the maintenance cost when five mana buys unconditional, permanent power elsewhere.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Dragon Moose is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, five mana for a 4/4 with trample is well below rate, and the upkeep payment creates a drain on resources that compounds over a long game. In Pauper, where the format is legal and efficiency is everything, Dragon Moose loses out to commons that generate more immediate board impact for the same or less mana. Legacy and Vintage have no use for it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Dragon Moose is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. There's no demand driver that would push this above bulk pricing, so don't expect the price floor to move.
