Penumbra Bobcat gives you a 2/1 body that replaces itself with a 2/2 black token on death — two creatures for the price of one removal spell. Three mana for that deal is fair enough in token or sacrifice synergy decks, but unexciting anywhere else.

In Commander, Penumbra Bobcat earns a slot in token-matters or sacrifice-value decks that want bodies which resist single-target removal — dying twice is genuine resilience when your commander cares about creature count or death triggers. Pauper is its best competitive home, where the death-replacement effect is meaningfully harder to answer and two-for-one value at common is real currency. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant — the power floor is too low to register. Penumbra Bobcat is a Commander and Pauper card, full stop.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Penumbra Bobcat is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and postage, not the card. That price is stable because demand is narrow; it won't spike unless a new commander makes green token-doublers suddenly essential, which isn't on the horizon.
