Frenzied Raider enters the battlefield and immediately pumps your entire attacking force by +1/+0, turning a wide board into a lethal one without spending a mana on activation. The cost is a mandatory attack each turn — a real drawback, but in aggressive red decks that want to be swinging anyway, it barely registers.

Commander is where Frenzied Raider actually belongs — go-wide red decks like Krenko, Mob Boss or Isshin, Two Heavens as One treat the forced-attack clause as a feature rather than a bug. In Modern and Pioneer the card is legal but irrelevant; three mana for a 2/2 with conditional upside doesn't meet the power threshold in those formats. Legacy and Vintage are the same story — the effect doesn't scale to what those formats demand. Stick to Commander, specifically in decks that are already building a wide board and attacking every turn.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Frenzied Raider is pure bulk — no barrier to picking up a copy. Bulk rares with narrow application tend to stay in the gutter, so don't expect this to move.
