Phyrexian Bloodstock enters and destroys a white creature — no targeting restriction, no condition, just removal stapled to a 3/3 body for five mana. The rate is too slow for competitive tables, but in casual black creature-based shells that can exploit enter-the-battlefield triggers, it earns its slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Phyrexian Bloodstock is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but only Pauper and Commander are realistic homes. In Pauper it competes in black midrange and reanimator shells that want incidental removal on bodies, and the five-mana cost is a real ask in that format's tempo-sensitive games. Commander is where Phyrexian Bloodstock is most at home — specifically in decks that blink, reanimate, or repeatedly bounce creatures to retrigger enter-the-battlefield effects, turning one white-creature kill into many. Legacy and Vintage have no interest; the card is decades behind the power curve for those formats.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Phyrexian Bloodstock is deep bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not the card. Bulk commons and uncommons with narrow applications rarely move, so don't expect the price to shift unless a high-profile blink commander drives sudden demand.
