Tattered Haunter is a 2/1 flying creature for two mana that phases out at the end of your turn — it attacks, then disappears, which means it contributes exactly one hit per rotation and never blocks. That fundamental limitation makes it a card for very narrow applications, not a general-purpose threat.
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 |
Tattered Haunter is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, a 2/1 flier that phases out after your turn can't block and contributes almost nothing to a board state — the format demands more from a two-drop. Pauper is where it comes closest to relevance, since flying bodies at common have a higher baseline value, but even there the phasing drawback disqualifies it from most tempo and aggro builds.

Price Context
Current price
$0.03 bulk tier
At $0.03, Tattered Haunter is deep bulk — the floor of the market. Nothing about its mechanics suggests upward pressure, and it will stay at this price unless a specific combo interaction surfaces that actually leverages the phasing.
