Morgue Thrull is a 3/2 flyer for five mana that lets you pay two black and sacrifice it to return a creature card from your graveyard to your hand — the body is undersized for the cost, and the recursion is strictly pay-to-use rather than a free trigger. Strictly outclassed by nearly every recursive black creature printed in the last decade; there is no competitive context where Morgue Thrull is your best option.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Morgue Thrull is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but that breadth doesn't translate to relevance. In Commander, black has access to Eternal Witness effects, free recursion loops, and creatures that recur themselves — Morgue Thrull asking you to pay five mana and then two more to get a creature back puts it firmly in the unplayable bracket. Pauper is its most plausible home on paper, where the card pool is shallower, but even there a five-mana 3/2 with a clunky activated ability struggles to earn a slot over cheaper recursive commons. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest in Morgue Thrull at any cost.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Morgue Thrull is deep bulk — the price reflects exactly what it is. It won't trend up; there is no sleeper angle here, just a dated card that costs a dime because that's what the market offers for near-zero demand.
