Keymaster Rogue makes a creature unblockable until end of turn when it enters — relevant evasion stapled to a 2/2 body for three mana. The rate is below curve for Constructed but earns its slot in decks that need guaranteed combat damage triggers.

Keymaster Rogue is a Pauper-legal common, and that's where it sees the most relevant play — Dimir Ninjas in Pauper leans on exactly this effect to set up ninjutsu returns without investing in dedicated unblockable creatures. In Commander, it slots cleanly into Rogue tribal and ninja decks where the tribe matters as much as the effect, though three mana for a 2/2 with a one-shot evasion trigger is a real cost in a format full of cheaper options. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer have no competitive homes for it — the rate doesn't compete at those speeds. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander read: useful in the right niche, invisible everywhere else.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Keymaster Rogue is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not demand. That price is stable because the card fills a narrow tribal role rather than a widely splashable function, so don't expect movement in either direction.
