Kami of Jealous Thirst trades card draw for a body — whenever a creature dies, you draw a card, stapled to a 2/2 for three mana. The rate is bad enough that you only run it when your deck specifically needs redundancy on death-trigger draw and has already filled out the better options.

In Commander, Kami of Jealous Thirst competes in a crowded lane of death-trigger draw engines, most of which either cost less mana, draw more cards, or don't require a body on the battlefield to function — it sees play almost exclusively in sacrifice-heavy lists that want the fifth or sixth copy of this effect. In Pauper, the commons-only restriction narrows the field enough that Kami of Jealous Thirst becomes a legitimate consideration in black-based aristocrats shells where every redundant draw trigger matters. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern are non-starters — the card simply doesn't do enough for formats where efficiency is measured in fractions of a mana.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Kami of Jealous Thirst is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a box rather than buy. Don't expect the price to move; redundant draw triggers at this power level have no scarcity ceiling to push against.
