Hulldrifter lands and immediately replaces itself with two cards — the draw happens on cast or entry, so you're ahead on cards before opponents can respond. The cost is a five-mana 3/3 with no evasion, which is a real rate problem in any format with efficient threats.

Miles "Tails" Prower
Miles "Tails" Prower copies spells and triggered abilities, so Hulldrifter's draw trigger becomes four cards instead of two — that's the whole reason it shows up in a third of Tails lists.

In Commander, Hulldrifter is a passable value piece in decks that care about enters-the-battlefield triggers or copy effects — Miles "Tails" Prower being the clearest example. Outside of those synergy slots, five mana for a 3/3 and two cards is below the curve for a 100-card format with higher average power. In Pauper, Hulldrifter competes in a field of efficient commons, and the rate is genuinely competitive there — two cards stapled to a body is meaningful at that power level. In Modern and Pioneer, it doesn't see play; the format speed outpaces anything a five-mana vanilla threat does.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Hulldrifter is deep bulk — you're picking it out of a common box, not tracking it on a buylist. Bulk commons with narrow synergy homes don't move on price; run it in your Tails deck without a second thought and don't expect the number to change.
