Odunos River Trawler returns a creature card from your graveyard to your hand when it enters — repeatable if you have the mana and a steady stream of creatures dying. The cost is that it does nothing without a graveyard to mine and competes with stronger recursion in the same color.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Odunos River Trawler is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's realistically a Commander-only card. In 60-card formats, a three-mana 2/2 that returns one creature to hand is far too slow and low-impact to see play when better recursion exists at lower costs. Commander is where Odunos River Trawler finds its niche — specifically in black graveyard shells that want incremental value from a creature-type-matters or sacrifice engine, where its body can be sacrificed and recurred alongside the very cards it retrieves.
