Gluttonous Zombie drains each opponent for 2 whenever you sacrifice a creature, turning any sacrifice outlet into a life-total clock that scales with the number of players at the table. The cost is six mana for a 4/4 with no evasion — you're paying a premium for the effect, and it only pays off if you have the engine to feed it.

Commander is where Gluttonous Zombie actually earns its slot — multiplayer means the drain hits three or four opponents simultaneously, making each sacrifice worth 6 to 8 life total and accelerating game-ending damage through attrition loops. In 1v1 formats like Legacy, Modern, or Vintage, the math collapses to 2 life per sacrifice, which is too slow and too expensive for any environment with access to faster, cheaper payoffs. Gluttonous Zombie is functionally a Commander-only card.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Gluttonous Zombie is deep bulk — zero barrier to picking up multiple copies. Price is unlikely to move without a major reprint or a breakout Commander build pushing demand, so buy it for the effect, not any secondary-market upside.
