Marchesa's Infiltrator is a two-mana 1/1 with menace that replaces itself when it deals combat damage to a player — cheap evasion stapled to card draw. The rate is narrow enough that it only earns a slot in decks that specifically want a dethrone enabler or a low-cost draw trigger on a body.

Marchesa's Infiltrator is a Commander card through and through — the dethrone mechanic and incremental card draw both scale with multiplayer politics in ways that two-player formats can't support. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but has no competitive home; a 1/1 for two with conditional draw doesn't clear the bar in either format. Commander is where the menace evasion actually matters, making it easier to connect and trigger the draw while also advancing a dethrone counter strategy.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Marchesa's Infiltrator is deep bulk — the kind of card you pick up as a throw-in without thinking about it. Don't expect the price to move; the demand ceiling is narrow dethrone builds, and supply is not the constraint.
