Immersturm Raider drains an opponent for 2 and exiles a card from your graveyard every time it attacks — repeatable life loss stapled to free graveyard management on a 2/3 with haste for three mana. The cost is that you need cards in your graveyard to fuel it, making it a non-starter in decks that don't stock the bin.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Immersturm Raider earns a slot in Rakdos or Mardu reanimator and aristocrats builds that already fill the graveyard — the drain triggers multiply fast in a four-player game and the exile clause fuels itself off your own discard payoffs. Outside Commander, it's a fringe consideration: Pauper is the most realistic home, where drain-and-attack strategies in black-red aggro can use the recursive pressure, but the graveyard prerequisite makes it slower than the format typically wants. Legacy, Vintage, Modern, and Pioneer all have far more efficient three-drops, so Immersturm Raider doesn't register competitively there.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Immersturm Raider is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a commons bin. There's no financial upside to hold here; it's a pure play card, worth grabbing only if it fits your list.
