Ogre Berserker is a five-mana 4/2 with menace — serviceable stats on a body that offers nothing beyond vanilla combat presence. The cost is too high for too little; nearly every red deck at this mana value finds a card that does more.
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 |
Ogre Berserker is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Pauper, the common card pool is shallow enough that a 4/2 menace for five might occasionally see fringe play in aggressive red builds, though even there the competition is stiff. In Commander, five mana for a vanilla-adjacent beater with no enters-the-battlefield effect, no evasion beyond menace, and no synergy text is a hard sell when the format's power floor has risen so sharply. Legacy and Vintage don't want Ogre Berserker at any price.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Ogre Berserker sits firmly in bulk territory, and the price reflects the card's ceiling accurately. There is no meaningful demand driver that would push this higher — buy it only if a specific deck needs a body at this slot and nothing better is available.
