Nyxborn Wolf is a 3/1 that becomes a +2/+1 Aura when you bestow it for five mana — the on-board stats are modest at best. Neither mode is efficient enough to compete for a slot in any serious deck.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Nyxborn Wolf is playable in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean good. In Commander it's outclassed by nearly every other three-drop, and the bestow cost of five is too steep to justify the +2/+1 pump in a format where permanents regularly have 10+ power. Pauper is the only context where bestow creatures see any light, but Nyxborn Wolf's stats don't clear even that bar. Pass it in every format.

Price Context
Current price
$0.22 bulk tier
At $0.22, Nyxborn Wolf sits firmly in bulk territory, and nothing about its playability is going to change that. It holds no value beyond filler — buy it only if a specific budget Aura synergy deck demands every bestow body available.
