Goldmaw Champion enters the battlefield and immediately taps an opponent's creature, buying you a free swing or a blocked attacker that never blocks. The cost is a two-mana 2/2 body that does nothing after the enters trigger — fine in aggressive go-wide shells, irrelevant everywhere else.

In Commander, Goldmaw Champion is a role-player in aggressive creature decks that need one blocker removed to close a game — nothing more. Pauper is the format where it sees the most competitive consideration, slotting into white weenie and boros aggro lists that value any enter-the-battlefield tempo at common rarity. In Modern and Pioneer the card is legal but effectively invisible; two mana for a 2/2 with a one-time tap effect doesn't clear the bar in formats where threats are efficient and removal is instant-speed. Legacy and Vintage won't touch it. Goldmaw Champion is a commons-bin card whose ceiling is budget Pauper aggro and casual Commander pods.

$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Goldmaw Champion is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not the effect. Don't expect movement; this sits at the bottom of the market and stays there.
