Undead Leotau is a 2/5 for five mana with a cycling-adjacent discard outlet that costs two mana and a life — passable bulk stats, forgettable rate. Outside of very specific discard-matters or graveyard-fueling shells, it doesn't earn its slot.
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 | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Undead Leotau is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Pauper it's a common, but five mana for a 2/5 with a situational discard ability doesn't clear the bar in a format where efficiency is everything. In Commander it's narrowly interesting in discard-matters or reanimator builds that need cheap ways to pitch specific cards, though almost any looter or dedicated discard outlet does the job better and cheaper. Vintage and Legacy offer no context where Undead Leotau is the right answer to any real question.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Undead Leotau is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and shipping, not the card. That price won't move; there's no demand scenario that changes it.
