Cloudpost taps for one mana by default and scales up by one for each other Locus on the battlefield — in a dedicated Locus package, that means two or three mana from a single land with no investment beyond deck slots. Omo, Queen of Vesuva can put Locus counters on non-Locus lands, which turns the counting clause into something that snowballs fast.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Cloudpost carries two restrictions that define its legality profile: it enters tapped, and it only taps for colorless mana. Neither restriction matters much in Commander, where a singleton 100-card format caps your Locus count anyway and colorless mana feeds artifacts, Eldrazi, and activated abilities just fine. The card is banned in both Modern and Pauper — in those formats, four copies plus Glimmerpost created mana engines that outpaced fair development — but in Commander, Cloudpost is a niche role-player rather than a broken engine.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Omo, Queen of Vesuva
Omo, Queen of Vesuva applies Locus counters to other lands, which directly inflates the count Cloudpost checks when it taps for mana — even non-Locus lands in the deck start contributing to the engine the moment Omo is on board.
Orvar, the All-Form
Orvar, the All-Form can copy Cloudpost when you target it with a spell, multiplying your Locus count and pushing each copy's mana output higher with every new duplicate.

Price Context
Current price
$0.50 bulk tier
At $0.50, Cloudpost sits firmly in bulk territory — you're picking it up as throw-in filler, not a budget concession. The price has stayed flat for years and shows no reason to move given its narrow Commander application and banned status in the formats where demand would otherwise drive it up.
