Timbermare lands as a 5/5 haste that taps all other creatures — yours included — for four mana, which is a brutal rate for ending a stalled board or pushing through a lethal attack. The symmetry on the tap effect is the real cost, and it means Timbermare earns its slot only when you can exploit the lock, not just crash in.

Commander is where Timbermare has the most legitimate applications — aggressive green stompy decks and untap-value commanders can weaponize the tap-everything clause as a one-sided lockout rather than a drawback. In Legacy and Vintage it's simply outclassed; four mana for a creature with a symmetrical downside doesn't compete in formats with Oko, Wrenn, and fast mana. Modern is the same story — Timbermare has never seen meaningful play there. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander calculus: build around the tap effect and it's live, ignore it and it's a vanilla beater with a self-inflicted wound.

Price Context
Current price
$0.35 bulk tier
At $0.35, Timbermare is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. That price is stable because demand is narrow and supply is plentiful, so there's no financial case for speculating; just pick one up if the deck calls for it.
