Slimy Dualleech enters and immediately drains each opponent for 2 life while padding your total, turning the board state in your favor before it ever attacks. The payoff is real, but a three-mana 2/2 with no evasion is a fragile body to hang it on.

In Commander, Slimy Dualleech scales directly with opponent count — a four-player table means 6 life drained and 6 gained the moment it resolves, which is a meaningful swing on turn three. Outside Commander, the effect shrinks to a one-player drain in most 1v1 formats, and a three-mana 2/2 with a single enters-the-battlefield trigger simply doesn't clear the bar in Modern, Pioneer, or Legacy, where the same mana buys threats with far more durable impact. Standard is the one 60-card format where Slimy Dualleech could see fringe play if a lifegain-matters shell needs cheap redundancy, but even there it's competing against more efficient options.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Slimy Dualleech is deep bulk — you're essentially getting it for free inside any order. That price is likely to hold: the card fills a narrow role and has no cross-format demand to drive it up.
