Kuldotha Cackler is a two-mana 3/3 with no abilities — a raw body that asks nothing from you except an artifact on the battlefield to unlock its full size. That condition is trivially easy to meet in any deck built around artifacts, making it a clean, zero-overhead threat for those shells.

Kuldotha Cackler is bulk filler in most formats, but Pauper is where it sees the most honest competition — aggressive artifact decks can flip it on turn two with a Memnite or Ornithopter already in play, and a 3/3 at common for two mana is a legitimate clock. In Modern and Pioneer the power floor is too high for a vanilla body to matter, even at that size. Commander is its least relevant home: a single 3/3 with no enters-the-battlefield effect and no late-game text simply doesn't do enough work in a 100-card, four-player format.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Kuldotha Cackler is deep bulk — the kind of card you find in a common box, not a store listing. That price is stable because there's no constructed demand pulling it upward; pick up copies freely for Pauper and don't give the price a second thought.
