Nest Robber is a 2/1 haste for two mana that enters with a Treasure token attached — you get a body and a mana refund in the same card. It's a reasonable rate in aggressive or artifact-synergy shells, but nowhere near the power floor needed to compete for a slot in optimized Commander lists.

In Commander, Nest Robber earns a slot only in dedicated Treasure or Dwarf synergy decks — it's too low-impact for general red strategies. Pauper is where it has the most competitive relevance, fitting into aggressive red lists that want cheap haste bodies to pressure opponents early. Modern and Legacy have no meaningful home for it; the rate simply doesn't meet the bar those formats demand. Pioneer and Oathbreaker follow the same logic as Commander — playable only when the deck is explicitly built around what Nest Robber does.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Nest Robber is deep bulk — easy to pick up in any common bin or throw into a trade without thinking twice. The price is unlikely to move meaningfully unless a dedicated Dwarf or Treasure deck surges in Commander popularity.
