Warthog is a vanilla 3/3 for three mana with no abilities — it does nothing beyond occupying a body on the board. There are strictly better options at every point on the curve, and no competitive format rewards running it.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Warthog is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different things. In Commander, a 3/3 vanilla for three mana is outclassed by nearly every creature at that slot — the format's power level demands cards that do something beyond attack and block. Pauper is the one format where Warthog is theoretically competitive on cost, but even there, commons with keywords or enters-the-battlefield effects dominate the three-drop slot. Legacy and Vintage have access to the entire card pool, which makes Warthog irrelevant in both.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Warthog sits firmly in bulk territory, and that price reflects its play value accurately. Don't expect movement in either direction — vanilla creatures without any constructed application stay bulk indefinitely.
