War Behemoth is a seven-mana 4/4 with plainscycling — you're never actually casting it, you're paying two mana to search up a Plains. The body is unplayable at that rate, but the cycling effect earns it a slot in any white deck that needs cheap land tutors.

War Behemoth sees virtually no competitive play in any format, and that's fine — it was never meant to. In Commander, it earns a niche in Plains-dependent decks that want redundant land-fetch on a budget, particularly alongside other cycling creatures in Cycling-tribal shells. Pauper is the one format where War Behemoth has the most theoretical relevance, since commons with land-cycling can smooth mana in slower, grindier builds. Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage all have far more efficient options for land selection, so War Behemoth never registers in those queues.

At $0.03, War Behemoth is deep bulk — buy a dozen copies and you'll spend less than a pack of gum. There's no meaningful price floor to fall through, and demand will never push it higher.
