Shivan Wumpus is a 6/6 trampler for four mana — one of the best stats-per-cost ratios in red — but the drawback is real: an opponent can sacrifice a land instead of letting you put it onto the battlefield, giving them a choice that frequently bails out the player most threatened by a 6/6. Run it when you can punish the land sacrifice, not just hoping opponents let it through.

In Commander, Shivan Wumpus is fringe at best — three opponents means three chances for someone to sacrifice a fetchland, a utility land, or a land they were going to cut anyway, and the 6/6 body never arrives. It finds a real home in landfall and land-destruction shells where sacrificing a land is a trigger or a setup, not a concession. Legacy and Vintage have no practical interest in a four-mana 6/6 with a punishable drawback when faster, cleaner threats exist. Modern is the same story — the card sees essentially zero competitive play across all constructed formats, and its ceiling is narrowly synergistic Commander lists.

Price Context
Current price
$0.41 bulk tier
At $0.41, Shivan Wumpus is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not demand. That price is stable because the card has no competitive home and Commander interest is slim; don't expect movement in either direction.
