Gore Swine is a 4/1 for three mana — above-rate power on a body that dies to a stiff breeze. It's a red aggressive filler card with no enters-the-battlefield effect, no keyword upside, and no reason to run it over nearly any three-drop with trample, haste, or a triggered ability.

Gore Swine is a bulk common that sees essentially no competitive play in any format. In Pauper it's outclassed by three-drops that actually threaten to close games or replace themselves. In Legacy and Vintage, a vanilla 4/1 isn't worth discussing. Commander is the only place a card like this finds a home at all, and even there Gore Swine only belongs in a dedicated Gruul or mono-red aggro shell that specifically rewards high-power low-toughness creatures — think Kardur, Doomscourge provoke lines or a Zurgo Bellstriker-style voltron build chasing damage thresholds.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Gore Swine is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills out a draft chaff box, not a trade binder. There's no demand pressure that would move this price meaningfully in either direction.
