Molder Beast swings for 5 trample the turn an artifact hits your graveyard — no setup required beyond playing your normal game. At six mana for a vanilla 5/5 in any turn where the trigger doesn't fire, it rarely earns its slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Molder Beast is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it sees meaningful play only in Commander artifact-sacrifice shells where the trigger fires repeatedly. In Pauper it's technically an option, but a 6-mana creature that needs graveyard setup competes poorly against the format's tempo demands. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a six-mana creature with no immediate board impact. Commander is the only home where Molder Beast occasionally justifies its cost, and even there it's a budget role-player rather than a staple.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Molder Beast is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not demand. There's no meaningful floor to protect here; pick it up freely from a bulk bin and don't expect it to appreciate.
