Fang, Roku's Companion
Legendary Creature — Dragon
Flying
Whenever Fang attacks, another target legendary creature you control gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is Fang's power.
When Fang dies, if he wasn't a Spirit, return this card to the battlefield under your control. He's a Spirit in addition to his other types.

Fang, Roku's Companion enters swinging — a 3/2 with flying and haste that also drains your opponents for damage you deal to them, all for three mana. It slots cleanly into Ozai, the Phoenix King as a threat that closes games rather than just participates in them.

Ozai, the Phoenix King
Ozai, the Phoenix King turns every point of fire damage into a resource, and Fang, Roku's Companion's life-drain rider stacks on top — meaning Ozai's repeated burn triggers also pad your life total while threatening a faster clock.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Fang, Roku's Companion does its best work — the life-drain effect scales up in a four-player game, and haste means it applies pressure the turn it lands rather than waiting for opponents to respond. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but competes in formats that don't care about incremental drain, so it won't see serious play there. Oathbreaker is a reasonable fit if your planeswalker and signature spell are pointing at damage-dealing strategies, but the card's ceiling is clearly in Commander.

Price Context
Current price
$0.76 bulk tier
At $0.76, Fang, Roku's Companion sits firmly in bulk territory, which makes it a low-friction inclusion for any Ozai build. Bulk rares with narrow commander niches tend to stay cheap, so don't expect price movement — just pick one up and move on.
