Shadow Glider is a 3/1 flyer for three mana — passable stats, but a vanilla body in a format where every slot competes against creatures that fly and do something else. It's not unplayable, but there's almost always a better option at the same cost.
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 |
Shadow Glider is a bulk common in every format it's legal in, and that's the whole story. In Commander, a 3/1 with flying and no other text is far below the power floor — you need evasion creatures to either combo off or generate value, and Shadow Glider does neither. Pauper is the one format where vanilla flyers occasionally find a home in aggressive white decks, but even there a 3/1 for three is slow enough to get lapped by cheaper options. Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage are non-conversations.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Shadow Glider is deep bulk — it costs more to sleeve than to buy. That price is a ceiling, not a floor; demand isn't coming.
