Relic Sloth enters tapped, makes an opponent discard a card, then sits on the board as a 2/4 — solid body, one-time value, nothing broken. At four mana for a sorcery-speed discard stapled to a vanilla creature, it's fine in casual piles and nowhere else.

Relic Sloth is a Commander card — specifically a casual one, where the slower pace lets a 2/4 body and a single discard trigger pull some weight. In Pauper it's legal but competes with far more efficient discard and creatures at common, so it doesn't make the cut. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer the bar is simply too high: four mana for a 2/4 with one discard gets outclassed on rate by almost everything in those formats. Vintage has no interest. Stick to Commander if you're running Relic Sloth at all.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Relic Sloth is deep bulk — the kind of card that shows up in a draft chaff box and costs more to ship than to buy. Don't expect that to change; bulk commons with no competitive application rarely move.
