Labyrinth Champion turns every spell that targets it into a Shock — deal 2 damage to any target, every time, for as long as it survives. The setup cost is real: you need a deck built around targeting your own creatures, and a 2/2 for four mana is easy to kill before it pays off.

In Commander, Labyrinth Champion is a build-around piece that only earns its slot in dedicated spell-slinger or self-targeting lists — Zada and Feather decks are its natural home. Competitive formats like Legacy and Modern have no interest in a 2/2 for four that requires additional infrastructure to do anything; far more efficient redundancy exists at every point on that curve. Pioneer offers nothing that changes that math. Labyrinth Champion is a Commander card through and through, and even there it's a role-player, not a staple.

Price Context
Current price
$0.19 bulk tier
At $0.19, Labyrinth Champion is pure bulk — zero financial friction to pick up a copy. Demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to move unless a high-profile Zada or Feather list pushes it into the spotlight.
