Steadfast Paladin is a two-mana 1/1 with vigilance and lifelink — a floor so low it struggles to justify a slot in any competitive 100-card list. The stats don't scale, the abilities don't synergize with anything that isn't already running better lifelink creatures, and there's no upside hiding in the text box.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Steadfast Paladin is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality isn't the same as playability. In Pauper it's the most relevant — white weenie and lifegain decks at common have a lower bar, and a two-mana vigilance-lifelink body can actually matter in a tempo race. Everywhere else, the card is outclassed: Commander has no room for a vanilla-adjacent two-drop, and in Modern or Pioneer the competition at two mana is steep enough that Steadfast Paladin won't make a list.

Price Context
Current price
unknown tier
No reliable price data is available for Steadfast Paladin at this time. Given the card's limited competitive application, it's almost certainly a bulk common — pick it up for pennies if a Pauper lifegain deck calls for it, but don't go hunting for it anywhere else.
