Battered Golem Price

Updated 2026-09-20

Battered Golem from Fifth Dawn is a Commander combo piece in a format where commons and uncommons with obscure combo potential can command significant premiums. The card untaps itself whenever an artifact enters the battlefield, a trigger-happy effect in artifact-heavy Commander shells that chain artifact plays together into large mana or recursive loops. Fifth Dawn was a small-print expansion in the Mirrodin block, and commons from that era exist in lower quantities than modern set commons while occupying storage segments most players have already sorted and traded away. Mild positive trend over 90 days with a slight recent pullback suggests the Commander community has been discovering this card as a combo enabler, with the near-term cooling reflecting typical post-discovery consolidation. Combo-relevant commons from old small-print sets occupy a durable niche once the Commander ecosystem identifies them. A reprint in a Commander product would be the primary ceiling risk.
