Fallen Askari is a 2/1 flanking creature for two mana with no evasion, no enters-the-battlefield effect, and no relevant text beyond a keyword that rarely matters in Commander. It does not make the cut in competitive or optimized lists, and the only reason to run it is deep tribal or flavor commitment.
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 |
Fallen Askari is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Pauper it's outclassed by two-drops that actually affect the board in a meaningful way. In Legacy and Vintage, a 2/1 with flanking doesn't register. Commander is the one format where tribal or theme builds might find a home for it, but even there Fallen Askari competes against two-drops that generate value rather than just attack.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Fallen Askari sits firmly in bulk territory — the kind of card you pull from a box rather than buy. Don't expect the price to move; there's no competitive application that would drive demand.
