Clever Conjurer card art
Clever Conjurer untaps any permanent you control as a tap ability — no mana required — which means it turns any creature or land into a repeatable resource engine. In decks built around Alaundo the Seer or Ioreth of the Healing House, that free untap is the difference between a one-shot effect and an infinite loop.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Alaundo the Seer

Alaundo the Seer

31.3% of decks · synergy 0.31

Alaundo the Seer cascades off suspended cards whenever you untap him, so Clever Conjurer's free untap ability is a direct trigger engine — tap Alaundo, resolve an effect, use Clever Conjurer to untap him, repeat as many times as you have enablers.

02
Merieke Ri Berit

Merieke Ri Berit

10.2% of decks · synergy 0.10

Merieke Ri Berit destroys the creature she controls when she untaps, so Clever Conjurer lets you weaponize that drawback on demand — untap Merieke, kill the stolen creature, steal a new one, all without paying a mana or waiting for your untap step.

Format Analysis

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal

standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper legal
oathbreaker legal

Clever Conjurer is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Pauper, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's a Commander card in practice — the combo payoffs it enables require specific tap-synergy commanders that don't exist in non-singleton formats. In Pauper it's technically playable but has no meaningful home; the formats where you'd want a repeatable free untap on a creature already have cheaper or more efficient options. Stick to Commander, where the right general turns Clever Conjurer into an engine piece rather than a novelty.

Price Context

Current price

$0.07 bulk tier

At $0.07, Clever Conjurer is deep bulk — buy a playset without thinking about it. Price is unlikely to move unless a new tap-synergy commander pushes it into wider circulation, but at this cost the only question is whether the card fits your deck, not your budget.
