Kami of Fire's Roar enters the battlefield and forces target creature to block it, which is a situational combat trick stapled to a 3/2 body for four mana — a bad rate by any modern standard. Narrow effect, overcosted, and outclassed by nearly every red threat at the same slot.

| Format | Verdict |

Kami of Fire's Roar is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Pauper it competes with a deep pool of efficient red commons and loses badly on rate. In Commander, a four-mana 3/2 whose only effect is forcing a single block doesn't move the needle — token strategies and combat-focused decks have far better options. Legacy and Vintage simply don't want it at any mana cost.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Kami of Fire's Roar is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. That price floor is stable because demand is essentially zero, so don't expect it to move in either direction.
