Hexgold Slith comes down as a 1/1 with toxic 1 for two mana, then grows a +1/+1 counter every time it connects — a threat that snowballs fast if your opponents can't block profitably. It's a legitimate win condition in poison-focused shells and a bulk pickup everywhere else.

In Commander, Hexgold Slith belongs in dedicated infect or toxic builds where proliferate effects compound its counter growth and ten poison counters close the game faster than it looks. In Pauper, it's a real card — aggressive infect decks want evasion, and a Slith that dodges chump blocks even once is pulling serious weight at common. Modern and Legacy infect have access to Glistener Elf and Blighted Agent, creatures that close faster without needing a combat step to grow, so Hexgold Slith doesn't crack those lists. Vintage is legal but irrelevant territory for a two-mana 1/1.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Hexgold Slith is pure bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a card that genuinely performs in the right shell. Bulk commons rarely appreciate, but this one doesn't need to: it's cheap enough to sleeve four copies without a second thought.
