Phantom Flock enters as a 3/3 flying spirit token-maker that scales with your board, and Antler Skulkin already hints at the tribal scaffolding it fits into. Five mana for this effect is a steep ask in 2024 Commander, and there are faster ways to flood the board with fliers.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |

| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Phantom Flock is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it sees meaningful play in almost none of them. In Pauper, the format's common-only constraint is the one context where its raw stats might earn a roster slot in a dedicated white spirits or tribal build, though the competition at five mana is still stiff. In Commander, it's a deep-cut tribal card that only makes sense if your deck is explicitly built around spirit synergies and needs the redundancy.

Pricing data for Phantom Flock isn't currently available, which itself signals how little demand there is for this card. It's a bulk rare at best — if you need it for a spirit tribal build, expect to find copies in the $0.25–$0.50 range at most local game stores.
