Quarry Beetle enters and puts a land from any graveyard onto the battlefield under your control — that's a free land drop stapled to a 4/3 body for four mana. The rate is acceptable, not exciting, and it earns its slot only in decks that can flicker it repeatedly or pair it with Yarok, the Desecrated to double the trigger.

Quarry Beetle is a Commander card, full stop — the formats where it's technically legal (Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage) have no interest in a four-mana 4/3 with a conditional land-recursion trigger. In Commander, it fills a niche in graveyard-matters and landfall decks that want repeatable land retrieval, particularly when opponents are milling or sacrificing lands themselves. It's not a staple, but in the right 100-card shell it pulls meaningful work.

Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Quarry Beetle is deep bulk — buy a playset without thinking about it. That price is stable because demand is narrow and supply is plentiful; don't expect movement in either direction.
