Garruk's Companion is a 3/2 trample for two mana — one of the most efficient green beaters ever printed at that cost. It's a role-player, not a build-around, but in decks that want cheap, aggressive green bodies it pulls its weight without apology.

In Commander, Garruk's Companion is too fragile to matter in a multiplayer format where a 3/2 body gets outclassed by turn four and single-target beats accomplish little against three opponents. Pauper is where it actually earns a slot — common-legal, efficiently statted, and trample makes it relevant in green stompy shells that need early pressure. In Legacy and Vintage it's simply outclassed by a decade of power creep and never sees play. Garruk's Companion is a Pauper card that happens to be legal everywhere else.

Price Context
Current price
$0.22 bulk tier
At $0.22, Garruk's Companion is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and postage, not the card. Bulk commons like this don't appreciate; pick it up from a dollar bin or throw it in a cart to hit a free-shipping threshold.
