Vile Redeemer replaces your entire board of dead nontoken creatures with 1/1 Eldrazi Scion tokens the moment they die — all at flash speed for three mana, paid while the board wipe is still on the stack. The flash clause is what makes it: you're not recovering after a wrath, you're responding to one.

Commander is where Vile Redeemer lives — board wipes are a format staple, and a flash 3/3 that converts your losses into a token army is exactly the kind of resilience creature-heavy decks want. In token and aristocrats builds especially, the Scions it generates aren't just bodies; they're sacrifice fodder and mana acceleration for the following turn. Outside Commander, Vile Redeemer sees essentially no competitive play — Modern and Legacy have faster, more focused payoffs, and the card's design is too situational to slot into the linear strategies those formats demand.

Price Context
Current price
$0.33 bulk tier
At $0.33, Vile Redeemer sits firmly in bulk territory — cheap enough to throw into any green creature deck without a second thought. Bulk rares this specialized rarely climb without a dedicated combo home, so don't expect the price to move unless it shows up in a precon or a breakout list.
