Inkfathom Divers gives a target creature islandwalk for a turn — one combat trick stapled to a 2/3 body for five mana. That rate is too slow and too narrow to justify a slot in almost any deck.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Inkfathom Divers is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but seeing play in none of them at any meaningful rate. In Commander, islandwalk is a parasitic evasion keyword — useless unless opponents happen to control Islands, which is far from guaranteed in a four-player pod. Pauper is the only format where a 2/3 body at common might scrape relevance, but even there the effect is too conditional to compete for a slot.

$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Inkfathom Divers sits firmly in bulk territory. Demand is low enough that this price is effectively a floor — don't expect movement in either direction.
