Thorn Thallid does almost nothing — a 2/2 for five mana that slowly accumulates spore counters to deal one damage is far below the baseline for any competitive format. Play it only in deep Thallid tribal builds where the creature type itself is the point.

Thorn Thallid is a Pauper-legal creature, and even there it doesn't see play — the format's commons have a high enough power floor that a five-mana 2/2 with a delayed ping effect can't compete. In Commander, Thorn Thallid is strictly a Thallid tribal inclusion, and only the most theme-committed fungus decks have any reason to run it. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; no competitive shell wants this effect at any price.

Price Context

unknown tier
Pricing data isn't available for Thorn Thallid at the moment, but as a low-demand common it almost certainly sits at bulk — well under a dollar. Pick it up from a bulk bin if you need the Thallid creature type; there's no other reason to pay above bulk rates.
