Sultai Skullkeeper puts two cards into your graveyard the moment it enters, fueling delve, threshold, and reanimator payoffs before it ever attacks. Two mana for a 2/1 with that kind of self-mill is a clean rate — bulk pricing matches the narrow application.

In Commander, Sultai Skullkeeper earns a slot in dedicated graveyard decks — Muldrotha, the Gravetide; Sidisi, Brood Tyrant; and similar commanders that convert milled cards into resources. Outside those shells it's a 2/1 with no text, which isn't a Commander card. In Pauper it's legal but outclassed by purpose-built self-mill like Grisly Salvage and Satyr Wayfinder, both of which do more for the same or less mana. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern have no interest in Sultai Skullkeeper at all — those formats move faster and mill more efficiently than two cards per creature.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Sultai Skullkeeper is deep bulk — buy a playset for less than a dollar and never think about the cost again. The price reflects the narrow, archetype-specific role: it holds no crossover appeal that would push it above bulk floor.
