Villainous Ogre is a 3/2 for three mana that gains deathtouch and regeneration as long as you control a Demon — a decent body that becomes a real blocker when the tribal condition is met. Outside a Demon shell, it's a vanilla 3/2 for three, which is unplayable in any competitive context.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Villainous Ogre is a tribal piece first and foremost, and its home is Commander Demon decks — Rakdos the Defiler, Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath, or any shell running enough Demons to reliably trigger the deathtouch clause. In Legacy, Modern, and Vintage it has no competitive application; a 3/2 for three with a conditional upside doesn't clear the bar in those formats. Pauper is its most interesting non-Commander format, where deathtouch regenerators can gum up the ground, but the tribal dependency limits how often Villainous Ogre actually comes online there.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Villainous Ogre is deep bulk — buy it without thinking if you're building Demon tribal. Don't expect that price to move; narrow tribal commons with conditional abilities don't appreciate.
