Rhox Maulers lands as a 5/5 with trample for five mana — a fine rate — but the real pull is that it doubles its power whenever it's the target of a spell, making it a credible threat in stompy and +1/+1 counter builds. It's a niche role-player, not a staple, and whether it earns a slot depends entirely on how many spells you're already pointing at your own creatures.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Rhox Maulers is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but its competitive footprint is essentially zero outside of Pauper, where a 5/5 trample at common is at least worth a glance in stompy shells. In Commander it fits best in decks that stack spells or auras on their own creatures — Voltron commanders or counter-synergy generals — where the triggered power doubling snowballs quickly. Outside those specific archetypes, five mana for a vanilla-adjacent beater is below the bar in any 100-card singleton format.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Rhox Maulers is deep bulk — you're not spending real money here, and the price reflects its narrow role. It won't appreciate; pick it up for a specific deck build and don't expect to trade it for anything meaningful.
