Metathran Transport card art
Metathran Transport gives any creature you copy with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker — or any other token generator — a free evasion upgrade by making it unblockable until end of turn for a single blue mana. The cost is real: you're spending a card slot and mana activation on what amounts to a narrow combat trick that does nothing without creatures already in play.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern not legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Metathran Transport is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker — but Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a 2/3 that trades a blue mana for one creature's evasion when those formats can close games through far more efficient means. Commander is the only realistic home, specifically in token-copy strategies that want a cheap, repeatable unblockable enabler. Even there, it sits on the fringe: most blue decks would rather run Whispersilk Cloak or Rogue's Passage for permanent evasion that doesn't demand an activation every combat.

Price Context

Current price

$0.13 bulk tier

At $0.13, Metathran Transport is pure bulk — you're not paying for the card, you're paying for shipping. That price is stable because demand is essentially zero outside of very narrow combo-adjacent brews, so don't expect movement in either direction.
