Kinscaer Harpoonist is a 2/2 for four mana that untaps a creature when it attacks — a rate so far below the floor that it barely registers as a card. The only context where it competes is Pauper, and even there it sits near the bottom of the pile.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Kinscaer Harpoonist is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal and playable are different things. In Commander, a 2/2 for four that conditionally untaps one creature is never doing enough — the format's power ceiling demands more from every slot. Pauper is the only format where Kinscaer Harpoonist could theoretically see play, but untap effects at common have better representatives, and this one asks too much for too little. Everywhere else, the card is background noise.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Kinscaer Harpoonist is deep bulk — the kind of card that ends up in a trade binder filler pile. There's no demand pressure to change that, so don't expect the price to move in either direction.
