Soul Collector card art
Soul Collector turns your opponents' dead creatures into your permanents — every boardwipe or sacrifice outlet like Viscera Seer becomes a resource engine rather than a reset. The five-mana body with morph is clunky enough that you need a clear reanimation loop to justify the slot.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Soul Collector actually lives — graveyard-heavy black decks can chain it with sacrifice synergies to generate serious card advantage over a long game. In Legacy and Vintage, a five-mana creature with a delayed, conditional trigger is simply too slow to see any real play. Modern is legal but the same problem applies: the format moves too fast for Soul Collector to ever resolve and generate meaningful value.

Price Context

Current price

$0.53 bulk tier

At $0.53, Soul Collector is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a bargain bin. Casual demand keeps a floor under it, but don't expect the price to move without a high-profile reprint or sudden spike in graveyard-theft strategies.
