Grey Knight Paragon card art
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

FormatVerdict
commander
legacy
modern
pioneer
standard
vintage
pauper
oathbreaker

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.
