Greasefang, Okiba Boss card art
Greasefang, Okiba Boss returns a Vehicle from your graveyard to the battlefield and crews it immediately — that's a 4/5 flying Parhelion II or an 8/8 trampler entering combat for free. The cost is a narrow condition: the payoff lives entirely in your graveyard setup, and if you can't fill the yard reliably, Greasefang, Okiba Boss is just a 4/3 for three.

FormatVerdict
commander
legacy
modern
pioneer

vintage
pauper
oathbreaker

In Pioneer, Greasefang, Okiba Boss headlined one of the format's most feared combo decks, pairing with Parhelion II to swing for lethal on turn three through self-mill engines like Raffine's Informant and Vessel of Nascency — the deck was fast enough to demand specific hate. Modern and Legacy have more efficient graveyard hate and faster clocks, so Greasefang, Okiba Boss is a fringe player in those formats rather than a format-defining threat. In Commander, it slots into artifact and Vehicle strategies as a recursive threat, though the attack trigger adds a timing vulnerability that faster tables will punish. Oathbreaker gives it a focused shell where the smaller game size makes the graveyard plan more consistent.

Price Context

Current price

$0.97 bulk tier

At $0.97, Greasefang, Okiba Boss sits at bulk despite being a genuine combo engine in Pioneer — the reprint history and high print run keep the price suppressed. It's a safe pickup at this tier; the card sees real competitive play, so the floor is unlikely to drop further.
