Hamlet Glutton enters as a 6/6 with trample and you gain life equal to the life your opponents have lost this turn — a punishing body that rewards any aggressive or drain-heavy game state. The seven-mana base cost drops to as low as two with enough life-loss triggers, making it a serious finisher in the right shell.

In Commander, Hamlet Glutton slots cleanly into life-drain and Rakdos group-slug decks where opponents are losing life constantly, letting you routinely cast it for three or four mana while landing a 6/6 trampler that also pads your life total. In Standard and Pioneer it competes in aggressive or lifegain-payoff strategies, but the cost reduction requires setup that midrange and control decks can disrupt before you ever swing with it. In Modern and Legacy, Hamlet Glutton is too slow and too reliant on a specific game state to earn a slot over more redundant threats. Pauper is where it's most likely to find a niche, since common-level six-power tramplers at discount rates are genuinely hard to come by in that format.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Hamlet Glutton is pure bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not the card. Bulk rares with conditional cost reduction rarely spike unless they find a breakout combo or a tier deck adopts them, so treat this as a free inclusion rather than a spec.
