Razortip Whip pings each opponent for 1 whenever you discard a card — repeatable damage stapled to a discard outlet for two mana. In dedicated discard or Rakdos storm shells it pulls real weight; everywhere else it's too slow and too narrow to justify the slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |

Commander is the only format where Razortip Whip sees meaningful play, and even there it's restricted to dedicated discard commanders who can trigger it multiple times per turn cycle. In 1v1 formats like Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer the damage output is laughably small — one damage per discard doesn't threaten a single opponent before more efficient engines close the game. Pauper is the one outlier worth a look, where the card pool is shallow enough that a repeatable discard-damage payoff has slightly more room to breathe in a grindy rack-style build.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Razortip Whip is pure bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not power. It won't hold or gain value, but the price is irrelevant to the buy decision; if the deck wants it, the cost is a rounding error.
