Tahngarth's Rage is a one-mana instant that pumps a creature +2/+0 and gives it trample until end of turn, with a kicker that tacks on an additional +2/+0 — five power of trample for three mana on an existing body. The ceiling is real in combat math, but the floor is a cantrip-less buff that trades down against any instant-speed removal.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Tahngarth's Rage is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, and irrelevant in the others by card-pool standards. In Commander it occupies the bottom tier of combat tricks — the format's slower pace and multiplayer politics make one-shot pump spells poor investments compared to permanent buffs or interaction. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in it; those formats demand cards that affect the board state beyond a single attack step. Oathbreaker is the only venue where a one-mana burst of trample could be marginally relevant on a planeswalker-adjacent gameplan, but even there Tahngarth's Rage rarely earns a slot.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Tahngarth's Rage is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a common box and rarely gets pulled out. Demand is low enough that this price is a ceiling as much as a floor; there's no competitive home or spike-worthy synergy waiting to move it.
