Glaring Fleshraker card art
Glaring Fleshraker punishes every colorless spell you cast with a free 1/1 Eldrazi Scion and a life-loss trigger that goes to each opponent — the board presence and chip damage stack fast with no extra investment beyond playing your deck. Ulalek, Fused Atrocity turns this from a nice bonus into a centerpiece, since Ulalek's cast trigger chains through every matching spell and Glaring Fleshraker converts each link in that chain into tokens and damage.

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity

88.5% of decks · synergy 0.82

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity copies triggers across every colorless spell cast in sequence, and Glaring Fleshraker is the card that turns that chain into a token army and a life-drain engine simultaneously — it's in nearly 89% of Ulalek lists for exactly that reason.

02
Herigast, Erupting Nullkite

Herigast, Erupting Nullkite

32.6% of decks · synergy 0.32

Herigast, Erupting Nullkite rewards casting expensive colorless creatures, and Glaring Fleshraker makes every one of those casts generate a free body and deal damage, converting the deck's natural game plan into incidental pressure.

04
Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods

Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods

23.4% of decks · synergy 0.23

Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods cares about casting creatures and creating tokens, so Glaring Fleshraker's Scion production feeds the board-wide pump while the life-loss chip adds a clock the deck otherwise lacks.

05
Sami, Wildcat Captain

Sami, Wildcat Captain

21.2% of decks · synergy 0.21

Sami, Wildcat Captain builds around tokens and going wide, and Glaring Fleshraker supplies a steady stream of Eldrazi Scions from every colorless spell to fuel that critical mass.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Glaring Fleshraker does its best work — three opponents means the life-loss trigger drains nine life per spell in a chain, and colorless and Eldrazi shells can fire it repeatedly in a single turn cycle. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but functionally irrelevant; those formats run colorless pieces like Emrakul or Ugin in entirely different contexts, and a 3/3 for three that makes a Scion is not competing for slots in those shells. Modern is where Glaring Fleshraker has the most plausible non-Commander home, specifically in Eldrazi Tron or Eldrazi Aggro, where the Scion production and incidental damage are real — though it hasn't broken through as a staple there. Outside of dedicated colorless strategies, it's a Commander card through and through.

Price Context

Current price

$0.53 bulk tier

At $0.53, Glaring Fleshraker is bulk, and given its 89% inclusion rate in one of the most-built commanders on EDHREC, that price is undercooked for how much demand the card sees. It's a safe pickup at this tier — not a spec, just a cheap card that does real work.
