Needleshot Gourna lands as a 3/6 with reach that blanket-restricts all flyers to dealing 1 damage — a hard ceiling that kills combat math for opposing air forces. Six mana for that body and that effect is too expensive to be a staple, but in the right shell it's a real answer.
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 |
In Commander, Needleshot Gourna occupies a narrow niche: decks that need reach plus a persistent flying-damage suppressor, typically green stompy or pillow-fort builds that want to survive long enough to combo or overwhelm on the ground. Pauper is the format where it sees the most legitimate consideration — the effect is unique at common and flying threats are real at that power level. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; nothing at those speeds is casting a six-mana 3/6. Oathbreaker follows the Commander logic, useful only in slower, creature-heavy metas.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Needleshot Gourna is pure bulk — you're paying for cardboard and nothing else. The price is stable because demand is low and copies are plentiful; there's no realistic scenario where this appreciates.
