Ashnod's Transmogrant card art
Ashnod's Transmogrant turns any non-artifact creature into a 0/0 artifact creature with a +1/+1 counter — for one mana at sorcery speed, that's a cheap way to enable artifact-matter payoffs across your whole board. The cost is real: you're permanently changing a creature's type, so know what you're giving up before you tap.

In Commander, Ashnod's Transmogrant earns its slot in artifact-synergy builds that need to retrofit non-artifact creatures — most famously Magda, Brazen Outlaw decks that want Dwarves to count as artifacts for treasure generation. Pauper is the other format where it sees occasional use, slotting into artifact-recursion and affinity-adjacent shells that need cheap ways to push creatures into the artifact type. Legacy and Vintage have it legal but functionally ignore it — there are faster, more explosive ways to populate an artifact board in those formats. Anywhere Modern or newer is the floor, it simply isn't legal.

Price Context

Current price

$0.19 bulk tier

At $0.19, Ashnod's Transmogrant is deep bulk — this is a pickup-by-the-handful card with no meaningful price floor to defend. It's niche enough that demand won't spike it, but at this price point the question was never cost; it was whether the effect fits your deck.
