Melira's Keepers card art
Melira's Keepers puts a 5/4 indestructible body on the board — no counters, no conditions, just a wall that ignores most removal. The cost is five mana for a creature that does nothing else, and in a format where Luminous Broodmoth combo aside, pure vanilla bulk rarely earns a slot.

Melira's Keepers is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive play in any of those formats has no interest in a five-mana 5/4 with no enters-the-battlefield effect, no evasion, and no text beyond indestructible. In Commander it finds its only real home in niche combo shells that care specifically about the absence of counters — most notably Luminous Broodmoth loops — where the indestructible clause is incidental and the counter-immunity is the whole point. Outside that narrow combo context, Melira's Keepers is unplayed at every level.

Price Context

Current price

$0.04 bulk tier

At $0.04, Melira's Keepers is deep bulk — pick it up in a commons box or throw it in any order to hit free shipping. Bulk rares with narrow applications don't climb without a combo breakout, and nothing on the horizon suggests this one is due.
