Trained Condor gives another creature flying until end of turn whenever it attacks — a narrow trigger that only matters if you're building around it. Outside of dedicated flying-matters or evasion-enabler shells, it doesn't pull enough weight for a roster slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Trained Condor is a bulk common that sees essentially no competitive play across any format. In Commander, it has a sliver of relevance in decks that need cheap, repeatable evasion enablers — think Isperia builds or any strategy that wants to push a single large creature through blockers every combat. In Pauper, the card is legal but ignored; the format has better three-drops at common that don't require an attack trigger to do their job. Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage have no interest in Trained Condor whatsoever.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Trained Condor is deep bulk — the kind of card that moves in bulk lots, not singles orders. That price is stable precisely because demand is negligible, so there's no expectation of movement in either direction.
