Aven Mimeomancer
Creature — Bird Wizard
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a feather counter on target creature. If you do, that creature has base power and toughness 3/1 and has flying for as long as it has a feather counter on it.

Aven Mimeomancer resets any creature to a 3/1 flier with a counter — stripping commanders of their abilities, neutralizing oversized threats, and handing you an attacker in one upkeep trigger. The cost is that your opponents get to see it coming, and three mana for a 3/1 body is a bad rate if the effect gets answered immediately.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Kros, Defense Contractor
Kros, Defense Contractor wants to put counters on opponents' creatures and then goad them, and Aven Mimeomancer fits that engine precisely — slapping a +1/+1 counter on an opponent's blocker turns it into a mandatory attacker elsewhere while simultaneously neutering whatever abilities made it dangerous.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Aven Mimeomancer is a Commander card — the triggered ability is too slow and the body too small to matter in Legacy or Vintage, where the format is over before upkeep triggers accumulate. In Modern it's legal but irrelevant; three mana for a conditional 3/1 doesn't clear the bar when the format runs Fatal Push and Unholy Heat. Commander is where the effect actually lands: stripping a commander's abilities by replacing its counters, or soft-locking a problem creature by keeping it perpetually reset, is a real and underused angle in a format full of ability-dependent threats. Oathbreaker is also legal, and the same logic applies at a smaller table.

Price Context
Current price
$0.35 bulk tier
At $0.35, Aven Mimeomancer is deep bulk — pick it up from any commons-and-bulk bin without a second thought. Niche effects at this price rarely spike unless a new commander makes the interaction obvious, so don't expect the floor to move.
