Festerhide Boar is a four-mana 3/3 with trample and a poison counter trigger — playable only in dedicated infect shells that need redundancy deep into the roster. Outside of that niche, the rate is too poor to justify a slot.

Festerhide Boar sees essentially no play outside of Pauper, where infect is a recognized archetype and common-slot options are scarce enough that a 3/3 trampler with poison upside can find a home in the right build. In Commander, it's a fringe inclusion for infect commanders that need to fill out the creature count after exhausting better options. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern are non-starters — the card is too slow and too fragile for any competitive context in those formats.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Festerhide Boar is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not card. That price won't move; infect redundancy at this power level has no demand driver to push it upward.
