Coalition Relic card art
Coalition Relic taps for any color and can stockpile a charge counter to produce two mana the following turn — that flexibility and burst potential put it above most three-mana rocks. Decks like Satya, Aetherflux Genius that demand specific color combinations on a deadline run it without hesitation.

Coalition Relic is a Commander staple — three mana for any color plus a deferred two-mana burst covers everything from five-color piles to two-color decks that just want reliable fixing. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but irrelevant; those formats don't have time for a three-mana rock that does nothing the turn it enters. Oathbreaker follows Commander's logic closely enough that Coalition Relic earns its slot there too, particularly in decks with steep color requirements.

Price Context

Current price

$0.35 bulk tier

At $0.35, Coalition Relic is bulk — there's no reason not to own several copies. It sees enough steady Commander play that it won't sink further, but it's a pickup for your cube or deck box, not a spec.
