Farbog Revenant is a 1/3 spirit with skulk and lifelink for three mana — it trades evasion for the inability to be blocked by anything with power greater than 1, which is most of what actually kills you. The rate is bad enough that even dedicated spirit or lifelink synergy decks have better options at this slot.
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 |
Farbog Revenant is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no play in any of them. In Commander, a 1/3 for three that gains a little life and sneaks past tokens is far too low-impact to justify a slot — the format rewards card advantage and board presence, and Farbog Revenant delivers neither. In Pauper, where commons with efficient stats and relevant abilities can carve out niches, it still falls short: skulk on a 1-power body means it gets through almost nothing meaningful, and three mana for 1/3 lifelink is outclassed by nearly every defensive or lifegain option at common. Across competitive formats, it simply doesn't exist.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Farbog Revenant is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a commons box and nothing else. That price reflects the demand accurately, and there's no synergy breakout on the horizon that would move it.
