Nebelgast Intruder taps down any number of target creatures whenever another Spirit enters the battlefield under your control — a repeatable, free tap effect stapled to a 2/1 flash body. In a Spirit-dense shell, that's a combat lock; outside one, it's a vanilla 2/1 that does nothing.

Nebelgast Intruder is a Commander staple in Spirit tribal builds and barely registers anywhere else. In Commander, the tap trigger scales with every Spirit you play, making it a pseudo-Propaganda in the right deck — opponents can't profitably attack through a board that taps them down on your end step. In Modern and Pioneer, Spirit tempo decks exist but the card sits on the fringe, outclassed by more efficient threats and interaction. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a 2/1 for three mana regardless of upside. Nebelgast Intruder is a Commander card through and through.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Nebelgast Intruder is bulk — you're picking it out of a dollar box, not tracking it on a spreadsheet. The price is stable because demand is narrow and supply is deep; don't expect movement in either direction.
