Stone Golem is a 4/4 with no abilities for five mana — a vanilla body that was underpowered at its original printing and has only fallen further behind as the format's card quality has risen. Nearly every deck that wants a five-mana colorless creature has strictly better options available.
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 |
Stone Golem is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, a 4/4 vanilla for five is well below the curve — the format's singleton pressure means you fill that slot with something that generates value, and Stone Golem generates none. Pauper is the only format where commons matter enough to even consider it, but even there, five mana for a 4/4 with no text loses to cheaper, more impactful commons. Across every 60-card format it's simply outclassed by creatures that do something the turn they enter.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Stone Golem sits firmly in bulk territory — the price of a card with no competitive demand in any format. That floor is stable in the sense that it's already at the bottom; don't expect movement in either direction.
