Lazotep Behemoth drops a 4/4 body and immediately generates an Amass token — two threats for one card, at five mana. The rate is fair, not explosive, but the built-in token production makes it a legitimate inclusion in any deck that cares about the Zombie army counter.

Lazotep Behemoth is a niche Commander card — it fits cleanly in Zombie tribal or Amass-themed builds where the token isn't a throwaway but a counter sink. In Pauper it competes at the top of the curve where five mana needs a decisive impact, and a split 4/4 plus a small army rarely closes games fast enough. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern ignore it entirely; the power floor in those formats makes a five-mana 4/4 with a minor Amass trigger unplayable. Commander is its real home, specifically in decks that can grow the Zombie army counter repeatedly.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Lazotep Behemoth is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a box rather than buy individually. The price reflects narrow demand and wide availability, and nothing about its design suggests that changes.
