Tormentor's Trident gives a creature +3/+0 and forces it to attack each turn it can — three mana to equip, two to cast. It's a narrow aggro piece that trades flexibility for raw power boost, and most decks can find better equipment at this price point.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Tormentor's Trident is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially no play in the non-rotating formats where powerful equipment like Sword of Feast and Famine simply exists. In Commander, it fits narrowest in aggressive go-wide or voltron strategies that want to push a single creature through defenses, though the mandatory attack clause is a real downside when you need to leave a blocker up. Oathbreaker is the one shell where a low-cost power pump on a small card pool occasionally finds a home, but Tormentor's Trident still competes against more efficient options there.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Tormentor's Trident is deep bulk — it costs less than a sleeve and that price reflects its demand. Don't expect it to climb; equipment at this power level gets outclassed rather than rediscovered.
