Dream Thief draws you a card when it enters and again when it leaves — repeatable card advantage on a two-mana creature if you can engineer the loop. The catch is that the engine requires external setup, most famously Mortuary, to make that loop actually run.

Dream Thief is a bulk rare in most formats — its power is entirely dependent on exploit, flicker, or recursion engines that aren't naturally abundant in Legacy, Vintage, or Pauper, where raw efficiency wins. Commander is where Dream Thief actually has a home, slotting into aristocrats, blink, or graveyard loops where each enter-the-battlefield and leaves-the-battlefield trigger gets weaponized for incremental card advantage. In Pauper it's technically legal but competes poorly with dedicated draw spells that don't need assembly.

Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Dream Thief is deep bulk — a throw-in card that costs essentially nothing to pick up. Given that its home is narrow combo shells rather than broad staple play, there's no realistic pressure to push the price higher.
