Loxodon Partisan is a five-mana 3/3 that hands out a single +1/+1 counter via battle cry — a negligible impact for a card that costs this much. Bulk rare territory: there is almost always a better use of the slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Loxodon Partisan is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Pauper it's outclassed by cheaper battle cry creatures like Signal Pest and Goblin Wardriver, which threaten more at lower costs. In Commander, five mana for a 3/3 with a one-shot counter effect is simply too inefficient — token swarm decks that want the effect can find it stapled to far more impactful bodies. Nowhere in the competitive landscape does Loxodon Partisan make the cut.

Current price
