Gravelgill Scoundrel is a vanilla 2/1 for two mana with no enters-the-battlefield effect, no keyword upside, and no tribal relevance beyond Merfolk and Rogue — two tribes that have better two-drops competing for the same slot. The floor and ceiling are identical: a body that trades with anything and advances nothing.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Gravelgill Scoundrel is legal across every major format, but that breadth doesn't translate to playability in any of them. In Commander, a 2/1 with no text doesn't move the needle in a 100-card singleton format where every slot has to pull weight. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, the two-mana slot is contested by creatures that come with keywords, triggers, or immediate board impact — Gravelgill Scoundrel brings none of that. Pauper is the one format where raw stats occasionally matter, but even there a vanilla 2/1 for two is well below the baseline.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Gravelgill Scoundrel is deep bulk — the kind of card that ends up in the bottom of a trade binder. There's no demand pressure that would push this higher, so bulk is where it stays.
