Skyshroud Behemoth lands as a 6/6 with trample and fading — meaning it arrives with only two fade counters and loses one each upkeep, giving you roughly two swings before it sacrifices itself. The mana cost is eight, so you're paying a premium for a creature that's already counting down when it enters.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Skyshroud Behemoth is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially zero competitive play in any of them. In Commander, the combination of eight mana, fading, and no enters-the-battlefield ability means better options exist at every point on the curve. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in an eight-mana vanilla-adjacent creature regardless of size. Oathbreaker shares Commander's tolerance for slow, expensive cards, but the 60-card format's lower starting life total makes a self-expiring threat even less appealing.

Price Context
Current price
$0.30 bulk tier
At $0.30, Skyshroud Behemoth is deep bulk — the kind of card that ends up in a dollar box. Don't expect that floor to move; there's no competitive demand pressure that would push it higher.
