Skizzik hits as a 5/3 trampler with haste for four mana — that's a clean rate for red aggro. The kicker cost to keep it is the real question mark, and most formats answer it by cutting the card entirely.

Skizzik is a Commander afterthought — a 5/3 with no enters-the-battlefield trigger, no death trigger, and no recursion upside is close to unplayable in a format where every slot competes against permanents that do far more. In Legacy and Vintage, the card is legal but irrelevant; faster threats and more efficient payoffs have long since buried it. Modern and Pioneer see similar neglect, where four mana in red buys Goblin Rabblemaster-tier threats that compound over multiple turns instead of trading down on value the moment they're blocked. Skizzik had a brief window in old Standard where the rate was competitive, but that window has been closed for a long time.

Price Context
Current price
$0.61 bulk tier
At $0.61, Skizzik sits in bulk rare territory, which is exactly where a vanilla-adjacent four-drop belongs. The price is stable for the same reason interest is low — there's no emergent format demand to move it.
