Marauding Maulhorn is a 5/4 for three mana — above-rate stats that demand a specific deckbuilding constraint: you must control an Advisor or it attacks every turn if able. That restriction is a non-issue in dedicated tribal shells and a deal-breaker everywhere else.

Marauding Maulhorn is a bulk rare in every format it's legal in, and the reason is the same across all of them: a 5/4 for three is only valuable if the attack restriction is either irrelevant or easily satisfied. In Commander, it slots cleanly into Advisor tribal builds or any deck running a consistent Advisor outlet — outside those, the uncontrolled aggression is a political liability at a four-player table. In Pauper it's not legal at common, so it never competes there. Modern and Pioneer have three-drops with no strings attached that match or exceed this statline, which keeps Marauding Maulhorn on the sidelines in both formats.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Marauding Maulhorn is deep bulk — buy a playset for less than a pack of gum and don't think twice. There's no demand driver that would move this price; it stays at the floor unless an Advisor synergy card breaks out and sends players hunting for tribe members.
