Tivadar's Crusade wipes every Goblin off the board for three mana with no targeting restriction — it hits all opponents simultaneously and bypasses protection. It's a narrow hate card, but in any meta where Goblins show up, nothing answers them this cleanly at this cost.
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 |
Tivadar's Crusade is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, and sees virtually no play outside the first of those. In Commander, it's a meta-dependent inclusion — useless at most tables, backbreaking at others if Krenko, Mob Boss or a Goblin Charbelcher shell is a regular threat in your pod. Legacy and Vintage have cheaper, more flexible Goblin hate available, and Tivadar's Crusade rarely earns a sideboard slot in those formats when Engineered Plague and Volcanic Fallout exist.

Price Context
Current price
$2.83 cheap tier
At $2.83, Tivadar's Crusade sits at the cheap end of the market for a card with a genuinely narrow use case. It's a safe pickup if Goblins are a fixture in your meta — just don't expect the price to move; niche hate cards tend to stay cheap.
