Oliphaunt Price and Deck Data

Price history is still filling in for this printing. As more daily price history lands, this chart will expand automatically.

Oliphaunt Price History

  • This page tracks the regular LTR collector-number 139 printing, not a later treatment.
  • The live chart above is the retained series for that selected printing.
  • The broader card-price record was near $0.17 on January 18, 2026.
  • It reached roughly $0.31 in late January, an increase of about 82% from that point.
  • By February 16, it had retraced to about $0.21, roughly 32% below the late-January high.

Oliphaunt Price Spikes

  • The January move was large in percentage terms, even though the dollar change was small.
  • The February retrace makes it a short cycle, not evidence of a lasting repricing.
  • The relevant competitive shell is Temur Living End, not generic red decks.
  • Oliphaunt works there with Shardless Agent, Violent Outburst, and Living End as part of the cascade package.
  • Modern adoption is useful demand context, but it cannot prove a specific price tick.

Oliphaunt Modern Format Preference

  • MTGDecks' Modern cycling-staples snapshot listed Oliphaunt in 155 Modern meta decks.
  • That same reviewed snapshot showed four Legacy decks and two Pauper decks.
  • Modern is therefore the best starting point for understanding the card's deck role.
  • In Temur Living End, Mountaincycling finds a land for one mana when mana development matters.
  • Cycling also puts a creature into the graveyard for Living End to return later.

Oliphaunt Public Deck Examples

These sourced examples lead with two Modern Living End lists because Modern is Oliphaunt's primary demonstrated format. A Commander list remains as a separate casual use case. Expand a verified list for every main-deck and sideboard card, then use the original source link for its public deck page.

Oliphaunt Common Use Cases

  • Its primary use is Modern Temur Living End, where it fills several jobs at once.
  • Mountaincycling finds a Mountain for one mana and smooths the early turns.
  • The cycling discard also puts a creature into the graveyard.
  • That supports cascade into Living End without spending a full card.
  • Casting the six-mana creature is the backup plan when the game goes long.
  • Its attack trigger can give another attacker +2/+0 and trample for a decisive combat.

Playing Oliphaunt

  • Cycle it when the next land drop matters more than holding the creature.
  • Keep it when the six-mana body is a realistic late-game option.
  • Choose the attacker most likely to connect for its combat trigger.
  • The +2/+0 bonus lasts only until end of turn, so plan the attack first.
