Gluttonous Troll card art
Gluttonous Troll hits the board as a mana sink that converts food tokens into a growing threat while keeping your life total padded — the payoff is real, but it costs four mana before it does anything relevant. Chatterfang, Squirrel General and Gyome, Master Chef are the shells where it goes from filler to engine piece, because both generate the token fodder it needs to spiral out of control.

Gyome, Master Chef manufactures a food token every turn for free, and Gluttonous Troll turns that steady stream into a snowballing body that ends games if left unanswered — the two cards are functionally built for each other.

Gluttonous Troll is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially zero competitive play outside Commander. In Modern and Pioneer, four mana for a creature that does nothing immediately is too slow when the format rewards threats that demand an answer the turn they land. Commander is where Gluttonous Troll actually earns its slot — specifically in food-token shells where the board state generates enough fodder to make its activated ability a win condition rather than a novelty. Outside dedicated synergy decks, it's a bulk rare collecting dust in every format.

Price Context

Current price

$0.17 bulk tier

At $0.17, Gluttonous Troll sits firmly in bulk territory — easy to pick up, trivial to trade for, and not at risk of spiking unless a new food-token commander drives sudden demand. It's a safe include on price alone; the question is always whether the deck actually wants it, not whether you can afford it.
