Tooth of Ramos puts a red mana in your pocket the moment it enters, then cashes out again for a second one when you sacrifice it — two mana total from a single artifact slot. Outside of commanders that specifically want artifacts on the battlefield or sacrifice fodder, like Toph, the First Metalbender, it's a niche piece that doesn't justify the slot in most lists.

Tooth of Ramos is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive Legacy and Vintage have zero interest in a two-mana artifact that produces two red mana across two activations when Mox Ruby and Dark Ritual exist. In Commander, it shows up almost exclusively in artifact-synergy or sacrifice-value shells where the artifact type or the act of sacrificing matters more than the mana it produces. Oathbreaker follows the same logic — if your signature spell is red and your gameplan involves recurring or exploiting cheap artifacts, Tooth of Ramos earns its slot; otherwise it doesn't.

Current price
$1.51 cheap tier
At $1.51, Tooth of Ramos sits in the bulk-rare tier — cheap enough that picking one up for the right deck costs nothing meaningful. Demand is narrow and supply is low-print-run old border, so the price is stable rather than rising; don't expect it to spike, but don't expect it to crater either.
