Urban Daggertooth card art
Urban Daggertooth puts a repeatable deathtouch-and-counter engine on the board for two mana — every point of damage it deals kills something, and every kill can snowball into more counters. It's not Walking Ballista's raw flexibility, but in a Fynn, the Fangbearer deck it's one of the most efficient poison-delivery creatures you can run at this price point.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Fynn, the Fangbearer

Fynn, the Fangbearer

16.9% of decks · synergy 0.16

Urban Daggertooth's deathtouch triggers Fynn, the Fangbearer's poison ability on every combat, and the built-in counter accumulation means it grows into a two-poison-counter threat that becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.

02
Wayta, Trainer Prodigy

Wayta, Trainer Prodigy

14.2% of decks · synergy 0.14

Wayta, Trainer Prodigy cares about creatures with power equal to the number of prey counters in play, and Urban Daggertooth's counter-stacking synergizes directly with that scaling condition while providing deathtouch insurance on every attack.

04
Marath, Will of the Wild

Marath, Will of the Wild

11.8% of decks · synergy 0.11

Marath, Will of the Wild distributes +1/+1 counters at will, which pairs neatly with Urban Daggertooth's ability to convert those counters into combat kills and more counter accumulation.

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper legal
oathbreaker legal

Urban Daggertooth is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but Commander is where it actually earns a slot. In Pauper it's theoretically playable in a deathtouch-aggro shell, but the format's speed makes a two-mana 1/1 without immediate impact a difficult sell. Legacy and Vintage have no interest — the power floor is simply too high. Commander is the home: Urban Daggertooth fits cleanly into deathtouch-matters, poison, and +1/+1 counter strategies where it compounds value over a long game.
