Avacyn's Memorial card art
Avacyn's Memorial lands and your entire board becomes indestructible and gains flying — that's a game-ending threat stapled to a mana rock. Seven mana is steep, but the effect is worth it in any white-heavy creature deck, and Emry, Lurker of the Loch can recur it if it somehow gets answered; Peter Parker decks run it as both protection and a finisher on the same card.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01

Peter Parker

30.8% of decks · synergy 0.30

Peter Parker decks use Avacyn's Memorial as the top of the curve that makes the whole team indestructible — once your wide board can't be swept, opponents are typically dead on the next combat.

02
Jodah, the Unifier

Jodah, the Unifier

10.7% of decks · synergy 0.10

Jodah, the Unifier assembles a legendary-creature army quickly, and Avacyn's Memorial turns that board into an unanswerable flying indestructible threat that closes the game before any sweeper can reset the board.

Commander is where Avacyn's Memorial earns its slot — seven mana is realistic in a format with Sol Ring and two-mana ramp, and the indestructibility blankets an entire board rather than a single creature. In Vintage and Legacy it's technically legal but never played; the format speed means you're dead before you untap with a seven-mana artifact that doesn't immediately win the game. Oathbreaker shares Commander's slower pace but the 20-life starting total means games end faster, making Avacyn's Memorial a turn too slow in most builds.

Budget Alternatives

Cheaper options that do most of the same work

Eldrazi Monument does most of the same work for around $1 — indestructible and flying on all your creatures — with the trade-off of a creature sacrifice each upkeep, which matters in token decks but is manageable elsewhere. If you just want the indestructibility without the flying, Heroic Intervention at roughly $3 protects your board in response to a wrath and doubles as interaction, though it lacks the permanent anthem presence that makes Avacyn's Memorial a standalone finisher.

Price Context

Current price

$8.51 mid tier

At $8.51, Avacyn's Memorial sits in mid-tier pricing — expensive enough to feel like a deliberate include, cheap enough that it belongs in any serious white creature deck that can cast it. Demand is steady from Commander players and the price has historically been stable, so this is a safe pickup if the effect fits your deck.
