Tobias Andrion is a 4/4 for five mana with no evasion, no enters-the-battlefield effect, and no text beyond his stats — he just sits there. Vanilla creatures at this price point are unplayable in any competitive context, and Tobias Andrion has nothing to justify the 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 |
Tobias Andrion is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different things. In Commander, a 4/4 for five with no ability is strictly outclassed by nearly every creature at the same cost — there is no shell that wants him. Legacy and Vintage have access to the most broken cards ever printed, which makes a vanilla 4/4 irrelevant on arrival. Pauper is the one format where raw stats occasionally matter at common, but even there a five-mana 4/4 with no text fails the rate test badly.

Price Context
Current price
$1.82 cheap tier
At $1.82, Tobias Andrion sits in cheap territory, but the price is a product of age and scarcity rather than demand. There is no competitive or casual use case that drives copies off shelves, so this is a collector's curiosity, not a card you buy to play.
