Mournwillow enters as a 3/2 trample, haste that gives all Zombies and Skeletons you control trample and haste until end of turn — a lord effect stapled to a body that costs three mana. The catch is the kicker: that lord trigger only fires if a creature died this turn, so Mournwillow rewards proactive sacrifice payoff decks rather than passive tribal lists.

In Commander, Mournwillow belongs in Zombie or Skeleton aristocrats decks that already run sacrifice outlets — the death trigger is trivially online by the time you want to swing. Outside Commander, Mournwillow is legal in Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage, but competes in formats where three mana for a conditional 3/2 lord rarely clears the bar. The card's ceiling is genuinely high in the right Commander shell and effectively a bulk filler elsewhere.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Mournwillow is deep bulk — you can pick up a playset for under half a dollar without thinking twice. Bulk rares with narrow tribal conditions rarely climb in price, so treat this as a cheap enabler to slot in rather than a card to stockpile.
