Processor Assault deals 5 damage to any target for two mana — the catch is you must put a card your opponents own into exile first, which means it only fires in dedicated Eldrazi Ingester builds. Outside that narrow shell, it's a conditional Char that simply won't resolve its prerequisite often enough to run.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Processor Assault is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but the processor mechanic is so parasitic that competitive play in non-rotating formats ignores it entirely. In Commander it shows up exclusively in Eldrazi-themed decks that already run processors like Wasteland Strangler or Blight Herder, where exiling opponent cards via Ashiok, Dream Render or Leyline of the Void makes the condition trivially easy to meet. Anywhere else, a conditional five-damage sorcery at two mana doesn't compete with unconditional options.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Processor Assault is deep bulk — it costs less than a sleeve and will stay there given how narrow its playable homes are. Pick it up without hesitation if you're building the right deck; don't expect the price to move.
