Ovalchase Daredevil card art
Ovalchase Daredevil is a self-recurring 4/2 that returns to your hand every time you discard a card — in artifact-heavy discard loops, that's effectively a permanent hand staple. The engine it slots into most cleanly is The Underworld Cookbook paired with Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, where discarding to make food and recurring the Daredevil become the same action.

In Commander, Ovalchase Daredevil is a niche card with a high ceiling in the right shell — discard-matters and artifact sacrifice strategies get a nearly unkillable recursive body that doubles as a discard payoff. In Modern and Pioneer, it has seen play in artifact-graveyard strategies as a resilient threat that punishes interactive opponents for making you discard, but it never broke through as a staple. Legacy has enough raw power that a 4/2 with a conditional recursion clause rarely earns a slot. Ovalchase Daredevil is at its best in Commander, where it finds a dedicated home rather than competing against faster, more flexible recursive threats.

Price Context

Current price

$0.18 bulk tier

At $0.18, Ovalchase Daredevil is deep bulk — grab a playset without thinking twice. It sees narrow enough play outside its dedicated Commander shells that there's no price pressure pushing it up, so it should hold at or near this floor indefinitely.
