Oros, the Avenger hits the board as a 6/6 flying, trample dragon and wipes every non-white nonland permanent your opponents control whenever it deals combat damage to a player — repeatable, on-attack board control stapled to a 6/6 body. The cost is real: six mana is a lot to ask, and the white-nonland clause means your own non-white permanents go with it.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Oros, the Avenger is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's a Commander card through and through — the repeatable damage-trigger wipe is exactly the kind of value engine that matters over a long multiplayer game. In Legacy or Modern, six mana for a creature with no immediate protection and no enters-the-battlefield effect is unplayable; faster formats kill it before it ever attacks. Commander is where the threat is credible: one unblocked swing resets the board for everyone except white-permanent strategies, and flying plus trample makes that swing achievable. Oathbreaker is a legal home in theory, but the compressed game length undercuts the repeating-trigger gameplan.
