Rakdos Ragemutt is a five-mana 3/3 with lifelink and deathtouch — a solid keyword combination on a body that's simply too small and too expensive for competitive play. Paying five mana for a creature that trades with any attacker or blocker and gains you a little life is a fine Limited card and a weak Constructed one.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Rakdos Ragemutt is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but that breadth doesn't translate to real play. In Commander, the five-mana slot is fiercely contested, and a 3/3 with lifelink and deathtouch doesn't generate enough value or board impact to justify inclusion outside of dedicated lifelink or deathtouch tribal synergy decks. In eternal formats like Legacy and Vintage, it simply doesn't exist — the power ceiling is too high. Modern and Pioneer have enough cheap, efficient threats that Rakdos Ragemutt never makes the cut.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Rakdos Ragemutt is deep bulk — the kind of card that shows up in dollar boxes and draft chaff piles. There's no meaningful demand driving the price up, and none is coming.
