Servant of Volrath trades itself to give a target creature -3/-3 until end of turn — a one-mana removal spell stapled to a body, at the cost of a card and a creature. Narrow enough that it only earns a slot in decks that specifically want creatures dying or fodder on the board.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Servant of Volrath is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but the formats where it matters are narrow. In Pauper, the common-card restriction means cheap removal bodies get a second look, though better options exist at the same cost. In Commander, Servant of Volrath fits sacrifice-matters decks that need redundant, low-cost creatures to feed an aristocrats engine — the -3/-3 is a bonus, not the point. Legacy and Vintage have no interest; the power floor is too low.

Price Context
Current price
$0.09 bulk tier
At $0.09, Servant of Volrath is deep bulk — buy a playset for under a dollar without thinking twice. Bulk commons at this price point don't appreciate, so treat it as a cheap role-player and nothing more.
