Tiger Claws slaps trample onto a creature for one green mana at instant speed — that's the whole pitch, and it's a narrow one. Pump spells do this better by also adding power, and enchantments do it more permanently; Tiger Claws sits in an awkward middle ground that rarely earns 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 | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Tiger Claws is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees meaningful play in none of them. In Pauper it competes with pump spells that grant trample while also growing the creature, which is a losing comparison. In Commander, one-shot auras that don't replace themselves are the first cuts when tuning a list — trample enablers that stick around or draw a card when they enter are strictly better investments. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in this effect at any price.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Tiger Claws is deep bulk — you'll find it in a common box, not a trade binder. That price reflects demand accurately; there's no competitive pressure to push it higher.
