Ogre Jailbreaker is a 4/4 for four mana that gains menace as long as you control a Gate — a reasonable body at a reasonable cost, but the Gate dependency means it's a roleplayer, not a threat. Run it in Gate-themed decks and nowhere else.

Ogre Jailbreaker is a Commander card first and last — Gate synergy decks like Maze's End or Golos, Tireless Pilgrim shells are exactly where it belongs, and casual tables don't punish a conditional 4/4 with menace the way competitive ones do. In Pauper it's technically legal but competes poorly against dedicated aggro and control strategies that have no interest in Gates. Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage have zero interest in a four-mana vanilla-adjacent creature whose payoff requires a land type most competitive mana bases don't touch.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Ogre Jailbreaker is deep bulk — you'll find it in a common box before you'd bother buying a copy online. The price is stable for what it is: a narrow, build-around common that sees occasional casual demand and nothing else.
