Ogre Errant gives one of your attacking creatures menace and another one haste — stapled to a 4/2 body for four mana — which is a reasonable rate only if you're already leaning hard on attack triggers or Battle cry synergies. Outside of dedicated go-wide aggro or Mardu attack-step decks, four mana for a fragile ogre with no enters-the-battlefield effect doesn't clear the bar.

Ogre Errant is a Commander card through and through — the attack-trigger ability only matters when you're building around combat, and the multiplayer environment gives it enough turns to be relevant. In Pauper it's legal but competes with more efficient common threats, and a 4/2 with a conditional tap ability won't make a Pauper aggro list. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer the card simply doesn't meet the power threshold — four mana for this effect is several turns too slow in those formats. Stick to Commander, and even there only in dedicated attack-step decks.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Ogre Errant is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and shipping, not the effect. Bulk commons with narrow applications don't recover from this price floor, so there's no value argument here beyond the fifty cents it costs to sleeve one up for the right Commander deck.
