Duelcraft Trainer gives your whole team double strike for a turn — the kind of effect that ends games out of nowhere when your board is already wide. Six mana and a tap is a real cost, but the payoff on an attack step that doubles every point of damage is worth it in the right shell.

Duelcraft Trainer is a Commander card first and last. Six mana is a steep ask in any 60-card format where the game is typically over before you untap with it, and double strike for a single attack step doesn't convert into a win condition reliably enough to compete in Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer. In Commander, the math changes: one attack with five or six creatures under double strike routinely kills a player outright, and Duelcraft Trainer pairs with any go-wide token strategy that can protect it for a turn.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Duelcraft Trainer is pure bulk — no barrier to picking up copies. Demand is too narrow to push the price anywhere meaningful, so don't expect movement, but there's no reason not to own one if your deck wants it.
