Soulblade Corrupter gives every creature you control deathtouch as long as you have a creature with a +1/+1 counter on the battlefield — a static effect that turns even a 1/1 into a lethal blocker and makes combat math miserable for opponents. The five-mana cost is the ceiling here; it's worth it in counter-heavy decks and nowhere else.

Soulblade Corrupter is a Commander card through and through — the static deathtouch grant scales with board width in a way that only matters in a multiplayer game where you're staring down three opponents' worth of attackers. In Legacy and Vintage, where it's technically legal, five mana for a creature with no immediate impact is a non-starter against the speed and interaction density of those formats. Commander is where Soulblade Corrupter earns its slot: in a dedicated +1/+1 counter deck it can lock down combat entirely, and Oathbreaker offers a similar enough environment that the card functions there too if the spellbook supports counters.

unknown tier
Pricing data for Soulblade Corrupter isn't available at the moment, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for a current figure. Given its narrow home in counter-centric Commander builds, it tends to move with the popularity of Atraxa and similar decks rather than holding broad demand — worth picking up cheaply if you're building in that space.
