Razorlash Transmogrant card art
Razorlash Transmogrant enters as a 2/2 for two mana and upgrades itself into an indestructible threat the moment you sacrifice another artifact or creature — a low bar in any self-sacrifice shell. The cost is real: you need a sac outlet and a body to feed it, which means it's an engine piece, not a standalone threat, but in decks built around Pitiless Plunderer or commanded by Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist, that condition is met by turn two.

Commanders with the highest synergy

Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist

Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist

46.0% of decks · synergy 0.45

Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist turns every creature into a potential artifact token, which means Razorlash Transmogrant can upgrade itself the same turn it enters — the two cards form an immediate loop of fodder and payoff that most Ashnod lists run by default.

02
Imotekh the Stormlord

Imotekh the Stormlord

28.9% of decks · synergy 0.28

Imotekh the Stormlord generates a steady stream of Necron Warrior tokens, giving Razorlash Transmogrant a reliable sacrifice trigger every combat — fitting for a deck that wants cheap, resilient threats that reward attrition.

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal

standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Razorlash Transmogrant is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially zero competitive play outside Commander. In Modern and Pioneer the two-mana slot is crowded with threats that don't require a setup condition, and indestructibility on a 3/3 isn't a closing argument when faster decks don't care. Commander is where Razorlash Transmogrant earns its slot: sacrifice synergies are endemic to the format, games go long enough that the upgrade matters, and the low mana cost means it slots into artifact and aristocrats shells without straining the curve.

Price Context

Current price

$0.36 bulk tier

At $0.36, Razorlash Transmogrant is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a four-of or trade-bait inclusion without a second thought. Bulk rares with narrow combo applications rarely spike unless a new commander creates critical mass demand, so treat it as a cheap pickup that holds its floor rather than a spec target.
