Indrik Stomphowler enters the battlefield and destroys an artifact or enchantment — no tap, no mana investment, just immediate board impact stapled to a 4/4 body. Six mana is the honest cost of that convenience, and in Commander that rate is acceptable rather than exciting; where it earns its slot is in decks that can blink, bounce, or recur it to repeat the trigger. Slinza, the Spiked Stampede pushes it further by turning that ETB into a repeatable engine.

Slinza, the Spiked Stampede
Slinza, the Spiked Stampede rewards every creature with an enters-the-battlefield effect, and Indrik Stomphowler's automatic artifact-or-enchantment destruction means each recurrence strips another permanent off the board — that 18% inclusion rate reflects exactly how reliably those two halves line up.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Indrik Stomphowler is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive Constructed formats have long since moved past six-mana creatures that only destroy one noncreature permanent. In Legacy and Vintage the card simply doesn't compete at that cost. Commander is where Indrik Stomphowler actually lives: singleton construction means enchantment and artifact threats are everywhere, the ETB trigger dodges counterspells that target activated abilities, and blink or flicker support turns a one-time removal spell into a recurring answer engine.

Price Context
Current price
$0.30 bulk tier
At $0.30, Indrik Stomphowler sits firmly in bulk territory — easy to pick up as a casual inclusion without any budget concern. Bulk ETB utility creatures at this price point tend to stay flat; there's no scarcity pressure here, so don't expect the number to move in either direction.
