Tymaret, the Murder King trades creatures for direct damage and recursion — two mana to deal 2 to a player, and three mana to return himself from the graveyard to hand, both by sacrificing a creature. The payoff is real in dedicated aristocrats shells, but the cost in card advantage makes him a role-player, not a headliner.

In Commander, Tymaret, the Murder King earns his slot in Rakdos aristocrats builds where the sacrifice outlets and graveyard recursion both pull weight — he doubles as a drain engine and a self-recurring threat, which matters when opponents gain inevitability in long games. Outside Commander, he's legal in Legacy, Vintage, Modern, and Pioneer, but those formats move too fast for a 2/1 legendary that requires creature fuel to do anything; he sees essentially no competitive play there. Oathbreaker is his most interesting non-Commander home if you're pairing him as a signature spell target, but even that's a stretch.

Price Context
Current price
$0.22 bulk tier
At $0.22, Tymaret, the Murder King is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and almost nothing else. That price won't move; supply is high and demand is narrow, so grab copies freely if the aristocrats shell calls for it.
