Hinterland Logger // Timber Shredder card art
Hinterland Logger // Timber Shredder is a two-mana 2/1 that transforms into a 5/4 trample threat — solid stats for the cost, but the daybound/nightbound mechanic means you're at the mercy of the table's spell-casting patterns. Playable in dedicated werewolf shells; redundant filler everywhere else.

oathbreaker

In Commander, Hinterland Logger // Timber Shredder slots cleanly into Werewolf tribal helmed by Tovolar, Dire Overlord — the flip synergy is native to the theme and Tovolar actively rewards the night transition. Outside that tribe, a vanilla 2/1 with conditional upside doesn't compete for the 99. In Pauper, the common designation makes it a legitimate early-game body in aggressive green builds, though the daybound/nightbound dependency is harder to control in a two-player format where your opponent's turn matters just as much as yours. Modern and Pioneer have enough redundancy in the werewolf package that Logger earns consideration as curve-filler in dedicated builds, but rarely makes the final cut over higher-impact two-drops.

Price Context

Current price

$0.05 bulk tier

At $0.05, Hinterland Logger // Timber Shredder is deep bulk — you're picking it out of a common box, not a singles list. Bulk commons rarely move on price unless a format shift puts the whole werewolf archetype on the map, so treat it as a zero-cost slot-filler and nothing more.
