Slayer of the Wicked enters the battlefield and immediately kills a Vampire, Werewolf, or Zombie — removal stapled to a 3/2 body for four mana. Outside of dedicated tribal shells that target exactly those creature types, the conditional clause makes it too narrow to compete with unconditional removal.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Slayer of the Wicked sees essentially zero play in Legacy, Modern, or Vintage — those formats move too fast for a four-mana sorcery-speed removal spell with type restrictions to matter. Commander is its natural home, where the game goes long enough that a 3/2 body has relevance and tribal decks centered on Vampires, Werewolves, or Zombies are common enough that the condition fires regularly. In dedicated Human tribal Commander builds, it doubles as both a thematic fit and a practical answer to the tribal threats those decks most often face across the table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.03 bulk tier
At $0.03, Slayer of the Wicked is deep bulk — you're paying essentially nothing for a copy. That price reflects its narrow application, and there's no reason to expect movement given the volume of printings and the availability of unconditional removal at similar or lower price points.
