About Lesser Masticore

Lesser Masticore, Artifact creature — masticore, designed by Wisnu Tan first released in May, 2019 in the set Modern Horizons. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.97. It's a key card in 23 combos.

The Lesser Masticore could be beneficial in a deck focused on discarding cards for value, such as a graveyard or reanimator strategy, as it provides a repeatable source of damage and has the potential to persist back onto the battlefield. However, there may be better options available depending on the specific deck's strategy, such as cards with more impactful abilities or better synergy with the overall game plan. Whether or not Lesser Masticore should see play would ultimately depend on the specific deck and its goals.

Rules

06/14/19

If a creature with persist that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner’s graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, persist won’t trigger and the card won’t return to the battlefield. That’s because persist checks the creature as it last existed on the battlefield, and it still had -1/-1 counters on it at that point.

06/14/19

Once persist returns the creature, it’s considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras that were attached to it won’t return to the battlefield. Equipment that was attached to it will remain unattached. Any counters that were on it won’t be put on the new creature.

06/14/19

You must discard exactly one card to cast Lesser Masticore; you can’t cast it without discarding a card, and you can’t discard additional cards. If Lesser Masticore enters the battlefield without being cast (perhaps because of its persist ability) you don’t discard a card.
