Koma's Faithful is a three-mana 2/2 that gains you 3 life on entry — a rate so far below the curve it belongs in a bulk bin, not a deck. The only shell that wants it is one specifically built around lifegain triggers, and even there it's competing against cheaper, harder-working options.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Koma's Faithful is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality is not relevance. In Commander it scrapes into lifegain-trigger decks as deep filler — think Oloro, Ageless Ascetic or Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose shells where every point of life matters, but even there the slot is hard to justify over more impactful bodies. In Pauper it's a common, but the format's efficiency bar is high enough that a 2/2 for three with a minor ETB rarely makes the cut. Everywhere else, ignore it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Koma's Faithful is pure bulk — you'll find it in draft chaff piles, not trade binders. There's no trajectory here: narrow utility and no competitive demand means this price is a ceiling, not a floor.
