Ferocious Tigorilla enters as a 4/4 with trample that can punch up to a 6/6 — relevant stats at every point of the curve it occupies. Outside of Kibo, Uktabi Prince, where the banana-token synergy makes it a near-automatic include, it's a solid but replaceable beater.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Kibo, Uktabi Prince
Kibo, Uktabi Prince generates Banana tokens for every player, and Ferocious Tigorilla turns each one your opponents crack into a +1/+1 counter — the more the table eats, the bigger it gets, which is exactly the engine Kibo wants running.
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 |
Ferocious Tigorilla is legal across every major format but sees virtually no play outside Commander. In Pauper it's competing against a tighter curve where a three-mana 4/4 with conditional upside doesn't clear the bar, and in Modern or Legacy the power ceiling is simply too low. Commander is where it lives, specifically in Kibo, Uktabi Prince lists where the Banana synergy gives it a job no other vanilla beater can do.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Ferocious Tigorilla is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and nothing else. Demand is narrow enough that the price isn't going anywhere, but it also means picking up a copy costs you nothing.
