Rishadan Cutpurse forces each opponent to sacrifice a permanent when it enters — that's three permanents gone at once in a four-player pod for three mana. The effect scales with the number of opponents, which is exactly the kind of math Commander rewards.

In Commander, Rishadan Cutpurse earns its slot in any shell that wants repeated enters-the-battlefield triggers — blink, flicker, and reanimator decks multiply the sacrifice pressure every loop. Outside Commander, the card is legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Pauper, but sees virtually no play in any of them; three mana for a one-shot sacrifice effect doesn't compete in those formats where the game ends faster and opponents number one, not three. Pauper is the only 60-card format where it's worth a second look, specifically in aristocrats or sacrifice-matters builds that can recur it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Rishadan Cutpurse is deep bulk — a throw-in card that costs nothing to test. That price is unlikely to move unless a high-profile blink commander spikes demand, so grab copies now if the synergy fits rather than waiting.
