Angrath's Marauders doubles all damage you deal — a static effect that turns every burn spell, combat step, and pinger into a two-for-one on life totals. Seven mana is a real cost, but in shells built around Heartless Hidetsugu or Admiral Brass, Unsinkable, the payoff is immediate enough that the price is worth paying.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy

Admiral Brass, Unsinkable
Admiral Brass, Unsinkable leads a Pirate tribal engine where combat damage is the primary resource, and Angrath's Marauders doubles every point of it — making each Pirate hit effectively twice as threatening for connecting with opponents and triggering Brass's recursion loop.

Winota, Joiner of Forces
Winota, Joiner of Forces floods the board with non-Human attackers to cheat Humans into play, and Angrath's Marauders is a Human that arrives through Winota triggers and immediately makes every subsequent attack deal double damage.

Olivia, Opulent Outlaw
Olivia, Opulent Outlaw rewards attacking with Vampires and Pirates, and Angrath's Marauders turns the resulting combat damage into a faster clock — stacking the doubling with Olivia's treasure generation to snowball both mana and pressure simultaneously.

Admiral Beckett Brass
Admiral Beckett Brass wants three Pirates connecting each combat, and Angrath's Marauders means those connections hit twice as hard, compressing the number of swings needed to force opponents into unfavorable blocks or reach the three-damage threshold.


Breeches, Brazen Plunderer // Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator
Breeches, Brazen Plunderer // Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator generates value off Pirates dealing combat damage, and Angrath's Marauders doubles that damage — meaning Malcolm's treasure triggers fire on hits that would otherwise be irrelevant, and Breeches steals more often because blocks become too costly.

Angrath's Marauders lives almost exclusively in Commander, where the multiplayer environment and slower clock make a seven-mana doubler viable and often game-ending. In 1v1 formats like Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's a non-starter — seven mana for a vanilla 4/4 with no immediate protection is unplayable competitively, and the doubling effect doesn't end the game fast enough before removal resolves. Vintage has the raw power to cast it early but still has no use for it. Commander is the format, specifically in Pirate tribal, Heartless Hidetsugu one-shot builds, and any red deck that can protect it for even one attack step.

Current price
$0.36 bulk tier
At $0.36, Angrath's Marauders is deep bulk — the effect is powerful enough to see consistent Commander play, but wide enough print availability keeps the price floored. Pick up copies freely; there's no meaningful financial downside to owning a playset.
