Kor Castigator is a 3/2 for two mana that can't be blocked by Eldrazi — a clause that almost never matters and does nothing against the 99% of threats it will actually face. Bulk rare for a reason.

Kor Castigator is a 3/2 for two mana, which clears the vanilla efficiency bar, but the Eldrazi evasion is dead text in every format where Eldrazi aren't the dominant creature type on the other side of the board. In Pauper and Modern, where aggressive two-drops need to either generate value or dodge common removal, a statline alone doesn't cut it. Commander is the one environment where Eldrazi show up in volume — Eldrazi tribal decks exist — but even there, you're blocking with your Eldrazi, not attacking into theirs, and Kor Castigator offers no ETB, no keyword beyond its niche evasion, and no synergy with Ally or Kor tribal payoffs worth building around.

Price Context
Current price
$0.02 bulk tier
At $0.02, Kor Castigator is deep bulk — the price reflects the demand accurately. There's no buy-in case here; it won't spike without a significant rules change or a new card that specifically rewards Eldrazi-proof creatures, and neither is on the horizon.
