Dutiful Servants is a 1/4 white creature for four mana with no abilities — a statline that doesn't justify a slot in any competitive list. The toughness is real, but four mana for a vanilla body is a poor exchange in every format that matters.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Dutiful Servants is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, four mana for a 1/4 with no text is a near-automatic cut — the format demands every slot pull double duty. Pauper is the one format where defensive bodies at common occasionally find a home in stall strategies, but even there Dutiful Servants offers nothing that a Kor Skyfisher or Staunch Throneguard doesn't do better. Across constructed formats, it doesn't make the cut.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Dutiful Servants sits at the absolute floor of bulk commons — you're paying for cardboard, not card value. That price reflects the demand accurately, and there's no reason to expect it to move.
