Loch Korrigan is a two-mana 2/2 that enters as a copy of any creature in a graveyard, making it a flexible threat that adapts to whatever the table has already deployed. The payoff is real, but it lives and dies by what's in graveyards — in slower pods it can be a blank, and a 2/2 body for two with no inherent protection is trivially answered.

In Commander, Loch Korrigan is most at home in graveyard-centric decks — reanimator shells, aristocrats, or self-mill — where the graveyard is reliably stocked by turn two and the best target costs far more than two mana. In Legacy and Vintage, faster graveyards mean Loch Korrigan can copy something broken early, but two mana is a steep ask in formats where equivalent effects exist on cheaper or more resilient bodies. Pauper is where it's most competitively honest: the card pool is shallow enough that a two-mana clone of a relevant common is genuinely powerful, and graveyard depth is easier to manufacture. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's calculus — synergy-dependent, strong in the right shell, mediocre outside it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Loch Korrigan is deep bulk — you're not buying it for value, you're buying it because it fits a slot. Bulk rares with narrow graveyard-dependent conditions rarely spike, so treat this as a pure inclusion decision rather than a pickup with upside.
