Breach the Multiverse
Sorcery
Each player mills ten cards. For each player, choose a creature or planeswalker card in that player's graveyard. Put those cards onto the battlefield under your control. Then each creature you control becomes a Phyrexian in addition to its other types.

Breach the Multiverse resolves and you mill ten cards across all players, then reanimate up to one creature or planeswalker from each graveyard — on a single spell, you're often putting three to five threats into play that you didn't pay for. The seven-mana cost is real, but commanders like Magar of the Magic Strings and Doomsday Excruciator that manipulate spell costs or graveyard loops make it hit far ahead of schedule.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Magar of the Magic Strings
Magar of the Magic Strings turns Breach the Multiverse into a repeatable engine — Magar can copy the spell as a creature-token that replays it from the graveyard, so one seven-mana investment keeps looping reanimation turns after turn.
Saruman of Many Colors
Saruman of Many Colors copies instants and sorceries cast by opponents, and Breach the Multiverse is exactly the kind of splashy spell worth copying — Saruman turns an opponent's Breach into a symmetry-breaking blowout in your favor.
Valgavoth, Terror Eater
Valgavoth, Terror Eater punishes opponents for paying life, and Breach the Multiverse mills everyone including opponents, regularly loading graveyards with threats Valgavoth can leverage while reanimating the best of what falls in.
Hidetsugu and Kairi
Hidetsugu and Kairi triggers on entering the battlefield, and Breach the Multiverse is one of the highest-value hits when Kairi dies and lets you put a spell on top — but more directly, the Grixis shell gives you the ramp and self-mill to reliably cast and capitalize on Breach.
Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge
Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge exiles spells from opponents' libraries and can cast Breach the Multiverse for free if she hits it — and when she does, the mill-and-reanimate effect refills the board she already cleared on entry.

Breach the Multiverse is a Commander card through and through — the multiplayer context is where milling ten cards across three or four players becomes a genuine battlefield reset, and having multiple opponents' graveyards to pick from multiplies the effect's ceiling dramatically. In competitive EDH it's too slow, but in mid-power pods it frequently ends games on the spot. Modern and Pioneer are legal but effectively non-contexts: seven mana is unplayable in those formats without dedicated ramp, and even then faster win conditions exist at that cost. Legacy and Vintage are legally available but practically irrelevant — those formats end before you get to seven, and graveyard synergies have more efficient engines. Stick to Commander.

Cheaper options that do most of the same work
Reanimate and Animate Dead each grab a single creature for one to two mana, and at under $2 combined they're more mana-efficient if you just want one threat — the trade-off is no mill, no mass reanimation, and no board-swing potential on the scale Breach the Multiverse provides. Living Death is the closest functional analog at roughly $3, swapping all graveyards for all battlefields simultaneously; it hits harder in creature-dense pods but punishes you if opponents have more in the graveyard than you do.
Price Context
Current price
$9.60 mid tier
At $9.60, Breach the Multiverse sits in the mid tier — expensive enough to feel like a real purchase, cheap enough that it belongs in any deck that can cast it. It's a mythic rare with broad appeal across black-inclusive Commander decks, which keeps a floor under the price, so this isn't a card that will quietly drop to bulk.
