Gruul Beastmaster enters as a 3/3 and immediately pumps your whole attacking team — every other creature you control gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is its power. The cost is a five-mana sorcery-speed body that does nothing if you're behind on board.

Gruul Beastmaster is a Commander card through and through — wide, creature-heavy go-tall decks are exactly where a one-shot team pump on a body does real work. In Modern or Legacy, five mana for an enters-the-battlefield effect with no protection gets punished by interaction at instant speed before your attack even resolves. Pioneer has the same problem. Gruul Beastmaster is playable in those formats in the sense that it's legal, not in the sense that it competes.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Gruul Beastmaster is deep bulk — pick it up in any common box and don't think twice. Bulk rares with narrow application don't appreciate; buy this because you want to play it, not because you expect anything from the price.
