Tooth of Chiss-Goria card art
Tooth of Chiss-Goria gives you a free artifact drop — paying its affinity cost at zero mana is the whole point, and that "free" equip gets creatures killed under Horobi, Death's Wail without spending a card on a targeted spell. Outside that specific engine, it's a 1/1 boost with no meaningful upside, and Steelfin Whale illustrates the ceiling: even dedicated artifact payoffs would rather have a card that does something on its own.

Tooth of Chiss-Goria turns every equip activation into a kill spell while Horobi, Death's Wail is on the battlefield, and the affinity cost means you can kill a creature for zero mana the turn the equipment enters — making it one of the most reliable free removal triggers in the deck.

Tooth of Chiss-Goria is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it only earns a slot in one of them. In Commander, it's a narrow combo piece for Horobi, Death's Wail — outside that deck it has no home. In Pauper, the affinity archetype has never wanted it over cards that contribute to board presence or storm count. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest; the floor for artifact staples in those formats is simply too high for a 1/1 pump with no board impact.

Price Context

Current price

$0.17 bulk tier
