Savage Hunger puts +2/+0 and trample on a creature at instant speed for one green mana — that's a combat trick that can redirect a block or push through lethal damage. It's a narrow, low-ceiling spell that earns its slot only in formats where common-card restrictions or tight budgets make it the best available option.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Savage Hunger is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but the only format where it competes is Pauper, where the common restriction levels the card-quality floor and one-mana combat tricks can decide races. In Commander, a single-target pump spell that doesn't replace itself is close to unplayable — 100-card singleton games demand cards that affect the board at scale, and Savage Hunger does neither. Legacy, Modern, and Vintage have access to strictly better options at the same cost, so it sees no play there.

Price Context
Current price
$0.03 bulk tier
At $0.03, Savage Hunger sits firmly in bulk territory — this is a card you pull from a common box, not one you order. There is no realistic demand driver that would move the price, so treat it as free filler if you need it and nothing more.
