Invasion of Pyrulea // Gargantuan Slabhorn cantrips immediately — scry 4, draw a card on entry — then flips into a 7/7 trampler that pumps your whole board when it attacks. Three mana for that much card selection plus a late-game threat is a genuine deal in any Simic shell that can contest a battle.

Commander is where Invasion of Pyrulea // Gargantuan Slabhorn earns its slot — the scry 4, draw 1 ETB smooths early turns while the Gargantuan Slabhorn back half closes games in creature-heavy decks, and three mana is low enough to slot in without disrupting your curve. In Modern and Pioneer it competes against more efficient card selection and battle support is essentially nonexistent as a strategic archetype, so it sees fringe play at best. Legacy and Vintage have better things to do at three mana. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander case — small format, value spells matter, and the battle count is low enough that flipping it is realistic.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Invasion of Pyrulea // Gargantuan Slabhorn is deep bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a card that functionally replaces itself and threatens to flip into a board pump engine. Bulk rares with clean card selection rarely spike, but this one doesn't need to: the value is already there at the price.
