Infectious Bloodlust card art
Infectious Bloodlust turns any creature into a 3/1 haste threat that replaces itself when it dies — all for one red mana. It's a clean rate for aggressive and sacrifice strategies, but the stat floor and enchantment fragility keep it out of serious formats.

Infectious Bloodlust is a Pauper-legal common, and that's where it does its best work — cheap Aura-based aggressive decks and bogles-style strategies can exploit the cantrip to maintain card parity while pressuring life totals early. In Commander, it fits narrow niches: Aura-matter commanders or sacrifice engines that want a free enchantment to trigger synergies, though the power ceiling is low outside those specific homes. Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage all have far more efficient one-mana options, so Infectious Bloodlust doesn't register competitively in those formats.

Price Context

Current price

$0.09 bulk tier

At $0.09, Infectious Bloodlust is deep bulk — buy a playset for under fifty cents and don't think twice. It won't appreciate; this is a card you grab when you need it, not one you hold.
