Grapeshot Catapult pings a creature or player for 1 damage at the cost of tapping, which was already underpowered when it was printed and has only fallen further behind. Pass on this one — modern artifact pingers do the same job for free or do far more damage.
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 |
Grapeshot Catapult is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, one damage per activation is negligible against 40-life opponents, and there are dozens of artifact pingers that scale with board state or cost nothing to activate. Pauper is the only format where it could theoretically appear in a very budget artifact shell, but even there, cheaper and more efficient options exist. Legacy and Vintage have no use for it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Grapeshot Catapult is pure bulk — the price reflects the demand accurately. Don't expect it to move; there's no competitive context that would drive a buyout.
