Sootfeather Flock is a five-mana 3/3 flyer with morph and megamorph — the kind of card that asks a lot for a little. At that rate, it's bulk for a reason: any competitive black deck can find a evasive threat that does more for the same or less mana.

In Commander, Sootfeather Flock occupies the bottom tier of playable black creatures — the morph mechanic adds minimal value when your opponents can see the facedown card coming and plan around it at a table of three. In Pauper, the common designation at least means the competition is fairer, but a five-mana 3/3 with no immediate board impact still struggles to justify a slot. Legacy and Vintage are legal on paper; in practice, Sootfeather Flock will never see either table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Sootfeather Flock is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a box but not a deck. That price is a ceiling, not a floor; there's no scenario that pressures it upward.
