Dwarven Berserker enters the battlefield and immediately forces a blocking restriction on your opponents — creatures with power 2 or less simply can't block it — while also gaining +2/+0 for each creature that blocked it this turn. The cost is real: that blocking restriction cuts both ways, and a 1/1 for two mana with a conditional upside is a weak rate outside of dedicated aggro shells.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Dwarven Berserker is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it sees virtually no play in any of them. In Commander, a 1/1 for two with a conditional combat trick is too fragile and too low-impact to compete for a deck slot in most red strategies. Pauper is the only format where its common status even makes it worth a second look, but red aggro there has far more efficient threats available. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in it whatsoever.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Dwarven Berserker is deep bulk — the kind of card that ends up in a collection binder and never leaves. Don't expect that price to move in either direction; demand is essentially zero.
