Mossdog is a 3/3 for four mana with forestwalk — marginal stats and a conditional evasion ability that only matters when opponents run Forests. It sees fringe play in dedicated landfall or Golgari graveyard builds that want any body that grows back via scavenge, but it is never a priority include.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Mossdog is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but the formats where it actually sees play are narrow. In Pauper it occasionally appears in Golgari graveyard shells that value scavenge as a late-game mana sink, though it sits well outside the format's top common threats. In Commander, Mossdog is outclassed by nearly every four-mana green creature — forestwalk is irrelevant in most pods and a 3/3 body doesn't justify the slot. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters; the card simply doesn't compete at those power levels.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Mossdog is deep bulk — you'll find it in any common box at your local game store for less than the price of a sleeve. There's no meaningful demand driver to push this higher, so don't expect the price to move.
