Mountain Bandit is a two-mana 2/1 with first strike that can't block — aggressive enough for limited, too narrow for most constructed formats. The can't-block drawback is a real cost, and the statline doesn't offset it at the competitive level.

Mountain Bandit sees no meaningful play in Commander — a 2/1 first striker with a can't-block clause doesn't pull weight in a format where threats scale into the dozens of power and toughness. Pauper is the only format where Mountain Bandit is worth a second look, and even there it sits on the fringe of aggressive red strategies that want more efficient bodies. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; nothing about the card's statline competes at those power levels. It's a limited card through and through.

Price Context
Current price
$1.85 cheap tier
At $1.85, Mountain Bandit is priced above its competitive utility — demand is almost entirely driven by collector or casual interest rather than actual play. Don't expect that price to reflect consistent demand in any 60-card or Commander context.
