Summit Intimidator gives you a 5/3 that makes blockers and non-flyers irrelevant in the same breath — relevant pressure for five mana, but five mana is the problem. A 5/3 with no ETB and no recursion value is easy to ignore in Commander, and every other format has better five-drops doing more.

In Commander, Summit Intimidator is a bulk filler card — the effect is real but a 5/3 that costs five doesn't move the needle in a 40-life format where opponents will almost always have a creature to block it anyway. In aggressive 60-card formats like Modern or Pioneer, you're never running this over threats with keywords, ETBs, or better rate. Pauper is the only format where a five-mana 5/3 with two relevant abilities might see fringe play in a dedicated go-wide aggro shell, but even there the competition is stiff. Summit Intimidator is legal everywhere and playable nowhere.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Summit Intimidator is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and ink, not the effect. That price won't move; there's no spike waiting on a card this replaceable.
