Mind Raker enters and forces each opponent to discard a card, stapling a Rackling-style trigger to a 3/2 body for four mana. That rate is too slow for competitive tables, but in casual Commander pods where hand disruption compounds quickly across three opponents, it punches above its cost.

In Commander, Mind Raker's enter-the-battlefield discard hits all three opponents simultaneously, making it meaningfully better than it looks in a two-player context — three cards leave hands the moment it resolves. Pauper is where Mind Raker has the most competitive footing; at common, repeatable or blink-based discard loops at budget price points are legitimate, and the card fits discard-aggro shells cleanly. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer, four mana for a 3/2 with a one-time discard effect is nowhere near rate — faster, cheaper options exist at every turn of the curve. Vintage and Oathbreaker follow the same logic: the formats either outpace it or offer strictly better discard tools.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Mind Raker is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and shipping, not the card. Bulk commons and uncommons at this price point don't hold or gain value, so pick it up only if the slot is actively in a list you're sleeving.
