Telim'Tor gives all your attacking creatures flanking, stacking a -1/-1 on every blocker that doesn't itself have flanking — relevant across a whole board, not just one creature. The cost is a four-mana 2/2 with no protection, which means it dies to a stiff breeze and needs a fast, aggressive shell to justify its slot.
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 |
Telim'Tor is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but realistically sees play only in Commander where old tribal or flanking-matters builds occasionally pull it in. In Legacy and Vintage the card is simply outclassed — four mana for a 2/2 with a conditional debuff ability doesn't compete in those formats at any meaningful level. In Commander, Telim'Tor works best as a force-multiplier in aggressive red or Boros go-wide decks, where repeatedly attacking with several creatures compounds the flanking triggers into real board disadvantage for opponents.

Price Context
Current price
$0.85 bulk tier
At $0.85, Telim'Tor sits firmly in bulk territory — a casual pickup that costs you almost nothing. It's an older card with narrow appeal, so the price reflects low demand rather than any supply squeeze, and there's no meaningful upward pressure unless flanking gets a deliberate mechanical callback.
