Creature — Goblin Rigger
Other Riggers you control get +1/+0 and have haste.
If a Rigger you control would assemble a Contraption, it assembles two Contraptions instead.

Steamflogger Boss pumps your Riggers and gives them haste, which is a real effect in a dedicated Rigger tribal shell — the problem is that Riggers are a five-card creature type with no competitive payoff, so the Boss's upside is almost entirely inaccessible. Outside that narrow context, it's a 3/3 for four mana that does nothing.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Steamflogger Boss is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different things. In Commander, it sees fringe play as a support piece in Rigger-tribal or artifact-creature builds where the haste grant has at least some reach — Minn, Wily Illusionist and similar token-adjacent commanders occasionally run it for flavor overlap, but it never earns its slot on rate. In Legacy, Modern, and Vintage, Steamflogger Boss has never appeared in a competitive list; the Rigger type restriction makes it a non-starter in formats where every slot demands universal impact.

Price Context
Current price
$0.46 bulk tier
At $0.46, Steamflogger Boss sits firmly in bulk territory, and that price reflects exactly what it does in most decks. It holds mild novelty value as a meme-adjacent card with a unique creature-type clause, but don't expect the price to move — supply is high and genuine demand is limited to a handful of Rigger enthusiasts.
