Quaketusk Boar enters the battlefield and immediately shocks a creature or planeswalker for 2, stapling a mini-removal trigger onto a 4/3 body for four mana. The rate is fine but not exceptional — you run it when you need redundancy on enter-the-battlefield damage effects, not as a first pick.

In Commander, Quaketusk Boar fits neatly into Gruul or mono-green shells that loop enter-the-battlefield triggers — think Panharmonicon doubling the 2-damage ping into something that actually clears small utility creatures. In Standard and Pioneer it competes with a crowded four-drop slot where most threats either close games faster or generate more value, so it rarely makes the cut. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern have long since left this power level behind. The card's ceiling is a Commander deck that explicitly rewards ETB effects or damage-based synergies; everywhere else it's outclassed.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Quaketusk Boar is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not card power. Don't expect movement unless a future set prints a combo piece that specifically rewards repeated 2-damage ETB triggers.
