Plant Elemental is a 4/4 for five mana with no evasion, no ETB, and no text — it is a vanilla creature in a format where every slot competes against cards that do something. Pass on it unless you're building a tribal Plant or Elemental deck that needs to round out a creature count.
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 | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Plant Elemental is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different conversations. In Commander, a 4/4 vanilla for five is simply below the power floor — the format's card quality has long since lapped it. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a do-nothing five-drop when the formats are ending games on turns one and two. Oathbreaker is friendlier to lower-powered cards, but even there Plant Elemental has no argument for a slot over creatures that generate value.

Current price
$0.23 bulk tier
At $0.23, Plant Elemental sits firmly in bulk territory — the price of a card with essentially no competitive demand. It will not appreciate; bulk vanillas trend toward zero as supply accumulates and demand stays flat.
