Woodborn Behemoth is a 4/4 for five that becomes an 8/8 trampler if you control eight or more lands — a reasonable rate when you hit the threshold, but entirely dependent on a condition most decks can't guarantee by turn five. It's a payoff card that asks a lot and offers nothing if you fall short.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |

| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Woodborn Behemoth is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander it fits narrowly into landfall or land-ramp strategies that routinely hit eight-plus lands — Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait or Tatyova, Benthic Druid shells can trigger the condition reliably, but there are stronger payoffs at the same slot. In constructed formats like Modern and Pioneer, a five-mana vanilla 4/4 that conditionally becomes an 8/8 is far too slow and fragile to matter.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Woodborn Behemoth is deep bulk — you're picking it out of a commons box, not budgeting for it. That price reflects its narrow role and easy replaceability; don't expect it to climb.
