Queen's Agent enters the battlefield and immediately searches your library for a basic Island or Swamp, putting it onto the battlefield tapped — a 3/3 body stapled to a ramp effect for six mana. The cost is steep enough that Queen's Agent belongs only in decks that specifically want Dimir-flavored ramp on a creature, not as a general-purpose pick.

In Commander, Queen's Agent sees occasional play in Dimir and Esper landfall or reanimator shells where the body matters as much as the land fetch, but six mana is a high bar when Solemn Simulacrum does something similar for four. Pauper is the format where Queen's Agent is most competitive — commons that ramp and threaten on the same card are genuinely scarce at that power level. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer, the rate is unplayable; nothing about a 3/3 for six with a basic land fetch competes in those environments. Oathbreaker follows the Commander logic: fine in a dedicated shell, outclassed in most others.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Queen's Agent is deep bulk — this is a card you pick up in a common box or as throw-in, never as a deliberate purchase. Bulk commons rarely move in price unless a format shift makes them suddenly scarce, so expect Queen's Agent to stay in this tier indefinitely.
