Gang of Elk is a six-mana 4/4 that tramples and pumps a creature by +2/+2 when it attacks — solid enough on paper, but six mana for a single body that only modifies combat once per turn is too slow and too low-impact for most tables. Cut it unless you're specifically synergizing with elk tribal or Boast-style attack triggers.
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 |
Gang of Elk is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, though it sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, where six mana buys Craterhoof Behemoth or Primeval Titan, Gang of Elk can't compete on raw power. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a vanilla-adjacent creature at this cost. Oathbreaker is the one context where a budget green stompy shell might squeeze it in, but even there better six-drops exist.

Current price
$0.24 bulk tier
At $0.24, Gang of Elk is firmly bulk — pick it up for pennies if a specific build calls for it, but don't expect that price to move meaningfully in either direction.
