Maraxus of Keld can hit the table as a 7/7 or larger with haste on turn four in the right shell — the ceiling is absurd. The cost is fragility: its power and toughness track your permanents, so any board wipe or mass untap effect collapses it to a 1/1.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Maraxus of Keld wants a dedicated artifacts-and-equipment shell where its power reliably lands in the double digits — Voltron strategies that keep the board full and swing for lethal in one hit. Legacy and Vintage are legal homes but completely irrelevant; no competitive list has ever wanted a six-mana vanilla threat with a variable stat line when faster, more resilient threats exist. Oathbreaker is the one fringe case where Maraxus of Keld as the oathbreaker itself could spike fast with the right signature spell, but the format is niche enough that it barely moves the needle.

Price Context
Current price
$1.59 cheap tier
At $1.59, Maraxus of Keld sits firmly in the bulk-rare tier — cheap enough to throw in any red stompy build without a second thought. Demand is too narrow for the price to climb, so don't expect it to appreciate, but it's not going lower either.
