Ondu Greathorn enters with a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control that has a +1/+1 counter — a free board-wide pump stapled to a 3/4 body for five mana. The cost is too steep for most competitive shells, but in a dedicated counters deck the trigger does real work.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Ondu Greathorn is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it only earns a slot in one of them. In Commander, it's a role-player in dedicated +1/+1 counter decks — five mana is acceptable at the singleton table when the trigger pumps six creatures instead of one. In Pauper it's a common, but a five-mana 3/4 with a conditional ETB competes poorly against the format's efficient threats. Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage all move too fast for Ondu Greathorn to matter.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Ondu Greathorn is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a common box. It won't appreciate; this is a card you grab when building a counters deck, not one you hold.
