Status // Statue kills a creature and pumps yours for two mana — that's the whole pitch. The split card is a staple in black-green decks that want removal that doubles as a combat trick, and at bulk price there's no reason not to run it.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Status // Statue earns its slot in any Golgari or Jund shell that runs a meaningful creature — the deathtouch half turns any blocker into a removal spell, and the destroy half handles the threat you couldn't attack into. Outside Commander, the card is legal in Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but those formats move too fast for a two-mana split that requires a board presence to get full value. Status // Statue is a Commander card through and through.
