Maw of Kozilek puts a 4/3 devoid body on the board and replaces itself with a colorless mana on the turn it enters — the kind of tempo-neutral play that colorless-matters and Eldrazi decks want as a curve filler. It's a role-player, not a finisher, and outside those specific shells it's too underpowered to justify a slot.

In Commander, Maw of Kozilek earns a slot only in dedicated colorless or Eldrazi tribal decks — anywhere else, a 4/3 for four that nets one mana once is below rate. Pauper is the format where it sees the most legitimate play, where devoid synergies and colorless-matters themes have real infrastructure at common. In Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage, it is strictly outclassed by faster, more impactful options and won't show up outside fringe Eldrazi brews.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Maw of Kozilek is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box rather than buy. There's no demand pressure to push it higher, and its narrow application keeps it anchored at the floor.
