Urabrask's Anointer turns every token you create into a Shock, dealing 2 damage to any target the moment it enters — no mana required after the initial three-mana investment. In a token-heavy Commander build, that damage adds up fast enough to matter, and the body stays on board to keep the clock ticking.

Urabrask's Anointer is a Commander card almost exclusively — the effect is powerful in multiples of triggers, which means you need a high-volume token engine to justify a three-mana 2/3. In Modern and Pioneer the card is legal but functionally absent from competitive play; those formats move too fast for a slow incremental damage engine with no enters-the-battlefield immediacy. Legacy and Vintage are similarly irrelevant, where three mana for a conditional pinger doesn't compete. In Commander, drop this into a dedicated token deck — Krenko, Treasure, or Phyrexian Praetor lines — and Urabrask's Anointer converts board-wide token floods into real damage that most tables don't anticipate.

Price Context
Current price
$0.11 bulk tier
At $0.11, Urabrask's Anointer is deep bulk — you'll find it in a common box or grab a playset without noticing the cost. Don't expect that price to move; the card has a narrow niche and no spike potential from competitive demand.
