Yoked Plowbeast is a 6/5 with cycling for six mana — the body is fine, but six mana for a vanilla creature with no evasion and no enters-the-battlefield effect is unplayable in any competitive context. The cycling cost of two makes it a slightly less embarrassing topdeck, but there are better cyclers and better six-drops at every turn.
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 |
Yoked Plowbeast is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Pauper, the cycling tag gives it the most plausible home — cycling synergy decks can use it as a filler piece, though even there the two-mana cycle cost is on the expensive side. In Commander, a 6/5 vanilla with no text does nothing at a table where every other card has an effect stapled to it. Modern and Legacy have zero interest in this card.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Yoked Plowbeast sits firmly in bulk territory — the kind of card you find at the bottom of a draft chaff box. It holds no value and is unlikely to, so buy it only if a cycling-matters build genuinely needs a sixth or seventh redundant cycler at the lowest possible price.
