Old Ghastbark lands as a 7/5 trampler for six mana with a relevant tribal subtype, but six mana for a vanilla-adjacent body is a steep ask in any competitive context. It's a Limited card that wandered into Constructed, and the 99 almost always has better options at this slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Old Ghastbark sees essentially zero play in Legacy, Vintage, or Modern — formats where six mana buys you game-ending threats, not a 7/5 with no ETB. Pauper is its most natural home, where large ground creatures with trample are genuinely harder to deal with and the card pool doesn't offer Primeval Titan or Etched Champion as alternatives. In Commander, Old Ghastbark is a fringe inclusion in tribal Elf or stompy-green builds that are specifically budget-constrained or need one more body at the top of a curve.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Old Ghastbark is deep bulk — buy a playset for the cost of a pack of gum. That price is stable because demand is low and supply is ample; don't expect movement in either direction.
