Goretusk Firebeast enters with a 4-damage trigger to any target — that's a removal spell stapled to a 3/3 body for six mana. The cost is too steep to compete with modern threats at that slot, and the payoff doesn't clear the bar.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Goretusk Firebeast is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no play outside budget Pauper lists where the card pool is shallow enough that a six-mana 3/3 with an enters trigger is occasionally worth slotting. In Commander, six mana buys you threats with far more board impact — Goretusk Firebeast's 4 damage doesn't scale to multiplayer life totals. Pauper is the only format where it's even worth a conversation, and only in red decks desperate for late-game reach.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Goretusk Firebeast is deep bulk — the kind of card that shows up in bulk lots, not intentional purchases. There's no price floor to worry about losing; you're running it because it's in the binder, not because it's the right card.
