Temur Charger card art
Temur Charger gives a creature trample and +1/+1 until end of turn for two mana — unremarkable as a combat trick, transformative as an infinite-loop enabler. The entire case for running it rests on Yedora, Grave Gardener, where it becomes the missing piece that turns a pile of forests into an engine that never stops.

Yedora, Grave Gardener turns every nontoken creature death into a Forest hitting the battlefield face-down, and Temur Charger is the cheapest way to flip that Forest into an attacking creature — closing the loop into an arbitrarily repeatable combo that generates infinite mana and infinite ETB triggers.

pauper not legal

Temur Charger is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees meaningful play in exactly one of those. In competitive 60-card formats the effect is too narrow — a conditional combat trick with no standalone power rarely makes the cut when the bar is this high. Commander is where it lives, and even there it's almost exclusively a Yedora, Grave Gardener card; outside that shell, the trample-plus-pump effect doesn't justify a slot.

Price Context

Current price

$0.19 bulk tier

At $0.19, Temur Charger is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a commons box, not one you track down on the secondary market. Demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to spike meaningfully unless a new combo commander pushes the Yedora-style engine into broader play.
