Creature — Beast
Suspend 5—
(Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay and exile it with five time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. It has haste.)

Durkwood Baloth puts a 5/5 body into play at instant speed via suspend, but six mana for a vanilla creature is a bad deal by any modern standard. Better green five-drops exist at every price point — this one earns a slot only in dedicated suspend synergy builds.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Durkwood Baloth is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but competitive play in any of those formats has long since left it behind. In Pauper it's technically available, but green commons offer far better rate at common rarity. Commander is the only realistic home, and even there Durkwood Baloth needs a suspend-matters shell — something built around Jhoira of the Ghitu or a similar commander — to justify the slot over creatures that actually do something when they enter.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Durkwood Baloth is pure bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. That price will hold because there's no demand to move it in either direction.
