Mardu Warshrieker card art
Mardu Warshrieker enters and produces three mana of any combination of red, white, or black — a full mana-positive play on a 3/2 body. The cost is real: five mana and a creature type that doesn't pull much weight outside dedicated Warrior or sacrifice synergies, but pairing it with Ashnod's Altar turns that body into a resource the moment it's done its job.

Mardu Warshrieker lives almost exclusively in Commander, where the five-mana cost is acceptable and the treasure token fuels expensive payoffs or combo lines. In Pauper it's legal but too slow for a format that punishes five-drops without immediate board impact. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern have zero interest — the effect isn't close to rate for those formats. Oathbreaker could find a niche use in a sacrifice-heavy Mardu shell, but it's still a fringe inclusion there.

Price Context

Current price

$0.11 bulk tier

At $0.11, Mardu Warshrieker is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box without thinking twice. Bulk treasures-matter and sacrifice staples at this price point rarely climb, so treat it as a free include rather than a hold.
