Efreet Weaponmaster enters and hands a creature +3/+0 until end of turn — that's a meaningful combat swing stapled to a 3/1 first strike body for five mana. The cost is the problem: five mana for a one-shot pump that doesn't stick is too slow and too shallow for almost any competitive context.
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 |
Efreet Weaponmaster is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Pauper it's technically eligible, but five mana for a 3/1 first strike with a conditional pump is well below the format's efficiency bar. Modern and Pioneer have no interest in this effect at this cost. In Commander, the only context where Efreet Weaponmaster earns a slot is an ETB-doubling shell — think Inalla, Archmage Ritualist or a Strionic Resonator package — where the triggered ability fires multiple times and the body matters less.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Efreet Weaponmaster sits firmly in bulk territory — the price reflects accurate demand. Bulk rares and uncommons with narrow applications don't appreciate unless a new commander or mechanic makes them suddenly relevant, and nothing on the horizon does that here.
