Jousting Dummy card art
Jousting Dummy is a one-mana 1/1 that can pump itself to a 3/3 for two mana — fine as a rate, irrelevant as a threat. The only shell where it earns a slot is Haakon, Stromgald Scourge, where its Knight subtype lets it recur from the graveyard on a loop.

Jousting Dummy is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially no play in any competitive 60-card format — a 1/1 with a conditional pump ability doesn't clear the bar in formats with efficient threats everywhere. In Pauper it's theoretically playable in a Knight-tribal shell, but nothing there incentivizes it specifically. Commander is where it has its one real argument: the Haakon, Stromgald Scourge loop values cheap recursive Knights above almost anything else, and Jousting Dummy's low mana cost makes it one of the cleanest pieces for that engine.

Price Context

Current price

$0.06 bulk tier

At $0.06, Jousting Dummy is deep bulk — you're more likely to find it in a draft chaff box than a singles bin. Bulk Knights don't appreciate, and nothing about this card's mechanics will change that.
