Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker doubles the number of counters your dungeons place on creatures, turning a trickle of value into a flood — every room you complete hits twice as hard. The cost is a two-mana 2/2 with no protection, so it dies to a stiff breeze, but in a dedicated dungeon deck alongside Sefris of the Hidden Ways or Radiant Solar, the upside is too large to ignore.

Sefris of the Hidden Ways
Sefris of the Hidden Ways triggers a dungeon venture every time a creature dies, which means Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker's doubling effect fires constantly — the counters pile up fast enough to flip a game state inside a single combat step.

Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker is a Commander card through and through — dungeons are a slow, accumulating mechanic that rewards a 100-card singleton environment where you have room to build around them. In 1v1 formats like Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's legal but irrelevant; no competitive shell is dungeon-venturing, and a vanilla 2/2 that doubles a parasitic counter effect doesn't make the cut. Commander is the only context where Hama Pashar sees meaningful play, and even there the ceiling is a dedicated dungeon-synergy build rather than a generic good-stuff include.

Current price
$0.19 bulk tier
At $0.19, Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker is deep bulk — a pickup you throw in a cart without thinking. That price is likely to hold; it's a narrow build-around with no crossover appeal outside its niche, so don't expect movement in either direction.
