Sly Requisitioner card art
Sly Requisitioner turns every noncreature artifact that hits your graveyard into a 1/1 Thopter token — and in any artifact-heavy shell, that trigger fires constantly without any extra effort. The cost is a five-mana 3/3 with no immediate board impact, which means it needs a deck that already recycles artifacts, not one that's hoping to start.

Commander is where Sly Requisitioner actually lives — artifact synergy decks are everywhere in the format, and the token generation compounds quickly alongside sacrifice outlets and recursion loops. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's legal but effectively invisible; competitive artifact decks in those formats have tighter, faster options and can't afford a five-mana do-nothing-on-arrival creature. Sly Requisitioner is a Commander card through and through, and even there it's a role-player rather than a headliner.

Price Context

Current price

$0.10 bulk tier

At $0.10, Sly Requisitioner is deep bulk — the price of a card that sees narrow play and gets passed over in most draft pools. It holds that floor comfortably; there's no crossover demand from other formats to push it higher.
