Orzhov Euthanist enters the battlefield and kills a creature that dealt damage to you last turn — no mana investment beyond casting cost, no targeting restriction beyond that haunt trigger. A 2/2 body for three mana is below rate, and the revenge condition is reactive enough that you won't always get the value, so it earns a slot only in decks that want the creature type or loop enters-the-battlefield effects.

In Commander, Orzhov Euthanist finds its best home in Shadowborn Apostle or cleric-tribal shells that recur creatures for repeated enters-the-battlefield triggers — the removal stapled to the body matters less than the repeatability. Pauper is where it has the most honest case: unconditional-ish removal on a creature is a real resource at common, and the haunt clause occasionally two-for-ones an opponent who swings into you. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters — the floor on interaction is too high for a three-mana 2/2 that sometimes kills something. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's logic: niche payoff in the right shell, invisible everywhere else.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Orzhov Euthanist is deep bulk — you're not paying for the card, you're paying for the sleeve. At that price floor there's no downside to picking up a copy if the deck calls for it, and no expectation of the price moving in either direction.
