Quarry Colossus enters, puts a creature on the bottom of its owner's library, and leaves behind a 5/6 body — all for seven mana. That cost is prohibitive in most contexts, but the effect is a hard, non-destroy removal that dodges indestructible and regeneration.

Quarry Colossus lives almost exclusively in Commander, where seven mana is reachable and the political angle of burying a specific threat matters. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it is simply too slow — those formats end before a 5/6 for seven does anything relevant, and the removal effect doesn't compensate. Commander is the one home where Quarry Colossus finds a niche: white decks that lack hard exile but need to answer indestructible creatures, or group-slug and blink shells that want to replay the enters-battlefield trigger.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Quarry Colossus is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a common box. There is no meaningful price floor to protect here, and demand is narrow enough that it is unlikely to move without a reprint-driven spike on a synergistic commander.
