Monastery Flock is a 0/5 Defender with Defender, Flying, and Morph — a wall that can block fliers and hide its identity, but five toughness on a zero-power creature contributes nothing to a board state that needs to win. Missy aside, there is no Commander context where this rate clears the bar.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Monastery Flock is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality is not a recommendation. In Pauper it sits in the bulk bin of unplayed commons; in every other format the competition for a three-mana 0/5 Defender is nonexistent because nothing is competing for that slot. Commander is the one format where Missy-style Morph synergies could justify it, but even there a facedown 2/2 for two mana is the draw, not the front face.

Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Monastery Flock is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a draft chaff box. That price floor is stable because demand is effectively zero outside niche Morph tribal lists.
