Ajani's Chosen card art
Ajani's Chosen turns every enchantment you cast into a 2/2 Cat token — in enchantment-heavy decks, that's a board presence engine stapled to your normal game plan. At four mana for a 3/4 body, the rate is fair but not exceptional, and in slower builds like Secret Arcade // Dusty Parlor or Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ it earns its slot purely on volume of triggers.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ

Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ

73.6% of decks · synergy 0.73

Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ runs a dense enchantment suite to trigger his broadcast abilities, and Ajani's Chosen converts every one of those enchantments into a 2/2 body at no extra cost — it's a free army stapled to the deck's existing game plan.

02
Gylwain, Casting Director

Gylwain, Casting Director

58.8% of decks · synergy 0.54

Gylwain, Casting Director hands out Role tokens, which are enchantments, meaning Ajani's Chosen produces a Cat token for every Role Gylwain generates — the two commanders stack triggers off the same actions and quickly flood the board.

03
Myrkul, Lord of Bones

Myrkul, Lord of Bones

34.9% of decks · synergy 0.33

Myrkul, Lord of Bones turns dying non-token creatures into enchantment copies, and Ajani's Chosen sees each of those enchantments enter and mints a Cat — the two create a recursive board-refill loop after combat.

04
Daxos the Returned

Daxos the Returned

34.8% of decks · synergy 0.33

Daxos the Returned cares about the number of enchantments you've cast all game, and every enchantment that fuels his experience counters also triggers Ajani's Chosen for a free 2/2 Cat alongside whatever spirit token Daxos makes.

05
Killian, Decisive Mentor

Killian, Decisive Mentor

33.7% of decks · synergy 0.32

Killian, Decisive Mentor discounts Auras, making it trivial to chain multiple enchantments in a turn, and Ajani's Chosen converts each cheap Aura into a 2/2 Cat token that can immediately carry the next one.

Commander is where Ajani's Chosen actually lives — enchantress and Aura-voltron decks run it as a passive token generator that never demands dedicated resources. Outside Commander, the four-mana price tag is a hard ceiling: Modern and Pioneer token strategies have faster, more redundant payoffs, and Legacy has no enchantment shell that needs a 3/4 as its reward. Ajani's Chosen is legal across the competitive formats but sees essentially no play in them; the card is tuned for a 100-card singleton environment where enchantment density is high and a steady trickle of 2/2s compounds meaningfully over a long game.

Price Context

Current price

$0.33 bulk tier

At $0.33, Ajani's Chosen is firmly bulk — easy to pick up and not a meaningful financial commitment for any deck that wants it. Bulk enchantment payoffs like this rarely spike without a major reprint ban or a breakout Commander product, so expect the price to stay flat.
