Vulpikeet is a zero-power Flying creature that can be copied by Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker — and since the token enters as a 0/0, it immediately dies, feeding graveyard synergies without cluttering the board. Nethroi, Apex of Death can reanimate it for free alongside a pile of other zero-power creatures, making it a recursive engine piece rather than a standalone threat.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Nethroi, Apex of Death
Nethroi, Apex of Death's mutate trigger reanimates any number of creatures with total power 10 or less, and Vulpikeet's zero power means it costs nothing against that budget — it comes back as a free body that can be mutated onto or simply traded away again next loop.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Vulpikeet sees essentially no play in competitive 60-card formats — Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer all have faster, more impactful two-drops, and Pauper has better common Flying creatures at the same slot. Commander is where Vulpikeet earns its keep, specifically in Nethroi, Apex of Death and similar graveyard-recursion shells that care about zero-power creatures. Outside those specific archetypes, there's no real reason to register it in any format.

Current price
$0.27 bulk tier
At $0.27, Vulpikeet is firmly bulk — you're picking it out of a common box, not budgeting for it. Demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to move unless a new commander or combo emerges that specifically rewards zero-power Flying creatures at scale.
