Grey Knight Paragon enters as a 2/2 and immediately hands every other Human you control +1/+1 and first strike until end of turn — that's a combat swing you feel the moment it resolves. The cost is a four-mana 2/2 body that does nothing on an empty board, so it lives or dies entirely on the Human count around it.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Grey Knight Paragon is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, and that's effectively the full picture — it's not legal in Modern, Pioneer, Standard, or Pauper. In Commander it slots into Human tribal decks where a mass first-strike pump on attack can close out a turn that would otherwise stall; the ceiling is high when you're swinging with eight Humans, the floor is a 2/2 for four that trades down. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest in a four-mana creature with a conditional combat trick when those formats reward density and speed above all else. Oathbreaker is the format most likely to find niche use, specifically under a Human-matters spellshaper or token commander where the enter-the-battlefield trigger doubles as a combat finisher.

Price Context
Current price
$0.38 bulk tier
At $0.38, Grey Knight Paragon is deep bulk — the kind of card you pick out of a common box rather than buy singles. Bulk tribal payoffs rarely appreciate unless the tribe gets a breakout commander, so don't expect movement.
