Kavu Runner is a 2/2 haste creature for two mana that can't be blocked by green creatures — a narrow evasion clause that rarely matters enough to justify the slot. Unless your meta is wall-to-wall green stompy decks, there are better two-drops in every format where this is legal.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Kavu Runner is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, the anti-green evasion is situational at best — you'll hit a table where it's irrelevant half the time, and even when it works, a 2/2 isn't closing games. Legacy and Vintage have access to creatures that do far more for two mana, so Kavu Runner never makes the cut there either. Oathbreaker shares Commander's casual ceiling, and the same logic applies.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Kavu Runner is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. That price is stable simply because demand is flat; don't expect movement in either direction.
