Eddymurk Crab enters the battlefield and immediately shrinks every opposing creature's power to zero until end of turn — a one-sided pseudo-fog stapled to a body. The cost is that the effect doesn't stick, so you're trading a card for tempo, not a permanent answer; Charix, the Raging Isle decks accept that deal because they need to survive long enough to swing with an enormous toughness-based attacker.

Charix, the Raging Isle
Charix, the Raging Isle attacks as a 0/17 that costs opponents a mountain of mana to block, and Eddymurk Crab buys the extra turn needed to get that attack through by zeroing out every blocker's power — the two pieces fit together so cleanly that Eddymurk Crab shows up in nearly 40% of Charix lists.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Eddymurk Crab is legal across the major constructed formats but doesn't register in competitive play — a one-turn power-zeroing effect on a 2/4 body is too slow and too temporary to matter in Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, where games end before the board state it answers becomes relevant. Standard is the only non-Commander format where it could theoretically see sideboard consideration against go-wide creature strategies, but even there the effect is narrow. Commander is where Eddymurk Crab actually earns its slot, specifically in toughness-matters and Crab-tribal shells that need a fog variant with a relevant creature type attached.

Price Context
Current price
$1.15 cheap tier
At $1.15, Eddymurk Crab sits in the cheap tier — low enough that it's a trivial include if the effect fits your deck. Demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to spike outside a Crab-tribal reprint or a new commander that makes the effect broadly powerful, so what you see is roughly what you'll pay.
