Krosan Groundshaker puts a 7/6 trample body on the board and forces through your other creatures all in one shot — the trample-granting effect is immediate and game-relevant the turn it enters. Seven mana is a real ask, and at that price point you need more than a one-time combat trick, which is exactly the ceiling this card runs into.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Krosan Groundshaker is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a seven-mana vanilla-adjacent creature when those formats end games before it resolves. Commander is the only realistic home, and even there it competes against Overwhelming Stampede, Pathbreaker Ibex, and Siege Behemoth — all of which do the trample-enabling job repeatedly or at higher impact. Oathbreaker can theoretically run it, but the compressed power level of that format rewards cheaper threats.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Krosan Groundshaker is deep bulk — you won't lose money picking one up, but you also won't find it holding any value over time. Cards at this tier stay here because demand is low and the effect is outclassed; this one fits that pattern cleanly.
