Maulfist Doorbuster hits hard for four mana — a 4/2 with trample that distributes two +1/+1 counters to creatures you control when it connects. The cost is a fragile body that trades with almost any blocker, making combat damage far from guaranteed.

Maulfist Doorbuster is a Commander card through and through — specifically in +1/+1 counter decks where the triggered distribution multiplies fast. In competitive formats like Modern and Legacy, a 4/2 for four is simply underpowered relative to what those formats demand, and trample alone doesn't rescue it. Pioneer offers a little more room for midrange creature strategies, but Maulfist Doorbuster still lacks the raw stats to compete. Stick to Commander, and specifically to shells that care about proliferate or counter doubling.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Maulfist Doorbuster is deep bulk — easy to acquire, zero financial risk. It won't hold or gain value, but that's irrelevant when you're sleeving it into a Hamza or Atraxa list for pennies.
