Tel-Jilad Outrider is a 2/2 for four mana that gains its controller 2 life when it enters — a body and effect both underpowered for the cost. Outside of dedicated proliferate or poison synergy shells where every infect-adjacent creature has a role, it's a card you skip.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Tel-Jilad Outrider is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees meaningful play in essentially none of them. In Commander, the only real home is a dedicated infect or Phyrexian-tribal deck that needs to pad its creature count — even there, it's a fringe inclusion. Pauper is where it theoretically has the highest ceiling, but a 2/2 for four with a negligible life-gain trigger doesn't clear the bar when the format's aggressive and efficient. Everywhere else, the card is outclassed before it hits the table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Tel-Jilad Outrider is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a commons box and stays there. There's no trajectory toward meaningful value; demand is too narrow and supply too plentiful for that to change.
