Vulshok Replica trades itself for 3 damage to any target — creature, planeswalker, or player — at instant speed, which is a real effect stapled to a 2/2 body for three mana. The cost is that it does this exactly once and only when it dies, making it a slow, low-impact threat outside of decks that deliberately recur or sacrifice artifacts.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Vulshok Replica sees essentially no competitive play in Legacy, Vintage, or Modern, where three mana for a 2/2 with a death trigger is far below rate. In Pauper it's legal but outclassed by more efficient artifact creatures and direct damage options at the same cost. Commander is where Vulshok Replica finds its niche: sacrifice-driven artifact decks — particularly those helmed by commanders that reward repeated artifact death or recur creatures from the graveyard — can squeeze real value out of the trigger, especially when looping it multiple times in a turn.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Vulshok Replica is deep bulk — the kind of card you pick out of a dollar box or grab as a throw-in with no financial consideration whatsoever. There is no realistic scenario where this appreciates; it's a functional role-player in a narrow archetype and priced exactly like one.
