Augur of Autumn card art
Augur of Autumn turns every land drop into card advantage by letting you play creatures off the top of your library — and once you unlock Coven, it extends that reach to all permanents. The Mortuary combo aside, this card earns its slot in any green creature deck on raw value alone.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Nikya of the Old Ways

Nikya of the Old Ways

57.3% of decks · synergy 0.53

Nikya of the Old Ways can't cast noncreature spells, so the ability to play creatures directly off the top is a structural necessity rather than a bonus — Augur of Autumn turns every draw step into a potential threat without ever touching the hand.

02
Zimone, Mystery Unraveler

Zimone, Mystery Unraveler

53.2% of decks · synergy 0.48

Zimone, Mystery Unraveler rewards playing multiple lands per turn, and Augur of Autumn stacks directly on top of that by converting those extra land drops into a stream of creatures cast from the top — the two cards accelerate each other's output.

03
Katilda, Dawnhart Prime

Katilda, Dawnhart Prime

51.5% of decks · synergy 0.46

Katilda, Dawnhart Prime runs a dense Human and creature package, so Augur of Autumn's Coven trigger is easy to enable and immediately starts feeding creature plays off the top to keep the board growing.

04
Hearthhull, the Worldseed

Hearthhull, the Worldseed

52.8% of decks · synergy 0.45

Hearthhull, the Worldseed cares about flooding the board with permanents, and Augur of Autumn's ability to play permanents off the top under Coven means every land drop pulls double duty toward that goal.

05
Azusa, Lost but Seeking

Azusa, Lost but Seeking

53.8% of decks · synergy 0.45

Azusa, Lost but Seeking gives you three land drops per turn, and Augur of Autumn converts that land acceleration into a continuous stream of creatures off the top — the two cards form one of green's most efficient fair engines.

Commander is where Augur of Autumn does its best work — long games, creature-heavy strategies, and multiple opponents all reward the slow drip of card advantage it provides over several turns. In Modern and Pioneer, it's legal but competes in a much faster environment where a three-mana 2/3 that takes a turn to generate value rarely makes the cut over more immediate threats. Legacy has the card pool to make it technically playable, but the bar for a three-mana do-nothing-now creature is too high to see real adoption. Stick to Commander, specifically any green deck running enough creatures to trigger Coven reliably.

Price Context

Current price

$0.37 bulk tier

At $0.37, Augur of Autumn is deep bulk — the price reflects wide reprint availability, not a lack of power. It's a safe pickup that won't depreciate further, and any green creature deck running even a modest spell-light build should own copies at this price.
