Drunau Corpse Trawler enters with a 2/2 Zombie token and can spend four mana to give any Zombie you control deathtouch until end of turn — a consistent two-for-one at five mana. The rate is fair, not exciting, and it earns its slot only in dedicated Zombie tribal decks where flooding the board with tokens is the whole game plan.

Drunau Corpse Trawler is a Commander card through and through — the token generation and deathtouch activation only accumulate value across the long game that the format affords. In Modern, Pioneer, or Legacy, a five-mana creature that produces a single 2/2 on entry is far too slow to compete, and the activated ability costs too much mana to be relevant before you're already losing. In Commander, it fits cleanly into Zombie tribal shells where every token feeds sacrifice payoffs, anthem effects, or graveyard recursion loops.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Drunau Corpse Trawler is deep bulk — easy to acquire, trivial to cut if something better comes along. The price reflects its narrow tribal application; it won't appreciate, but it doesn't need to when you can pick up a playset for less than a dollar.
