Is Berserkers' Onslaught good in Commander?

Berserkers' Onslaught in Commander — Combos, Decks & Price

Berserkers' Onslaught turns every attacking creature into a double-strike threat — that's not a marginal buff, it's a board-wide damage doubler for five mana. It's a staple in Bello, Bard of the Brambles and any deck that swings with large individual creatures rather than a wide token horde.

Commander is where Berserkers' Onslaught earns its keep — five mana is acceptable in a format where games go long and a single enchantment can end them, and the board-wide double strike makes it a finisher in any creature-combat deck. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern or Legacy, five mana for a pure combat enchantment is too slow against the format's interaction density, and better redundancy exists. Pioneer offers a similar verdict: Berserkers' Onslaught is legal but rarely worth the slot when games don't consistently reach the point where it can untap. Oathbreaker can make use of it in the same way Commander does, particularly with a planeswalker that creates attacking tokens.

$0.54 bulk tier

At $0.54, Berserkers' Onslaught is firmly bulk, and for an enchantment with this kind of board impact that price is unlikely to climb unless a high-profile reprint or commander drives demand. Pick it up without hesitation — there's no meaningful financial risk at this tier.
