Marut card art
Marut enters as a 7/7 with vigilance, trample, and ward 2 — a legitimate threat for seven mana that demands an answer the turn it lands. The cost is straightforward: seven mana is a real ask, but shells that can loop it with Temur Sabertooth or convert its power into treasure via Jolene, the Plunder Queen get full value on every iteration.

Jolene, the Plunder Queen turns every Marut attack into a treasure flood, and Marut's vigilance means it swings without leaving the board exposed — exactly what a treasure-doubling engine wants from a top-end threat.

Commander is where Marut actually sees play — seven mana is fine in a format built around 40 life and ramp, and the ward 2 taxes spot removal in a way that matters at a table of three opponents. In Pauper it's legal but too expensive for the format's tempo, where common-quality threats at this cost don't survive long enough to matter. Legacy and Vintage have better options at every point on the curve, so Marut doesn't register there outside of a niche reanimator package.

Price Context

Current price

$0.10 bulk tier

At $0.10, Marut is pure bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a common box. Bulk rares with narrow competitive applications rarely climb without a combo breakout, so treat this as a low-risk pickup with a low ceiling.
