Commune with the Gods digs five cards deep and puts a creature or enchantment directly into your hand — the mill is a feature, not a bug, in decks that want the graveyard stocked. At two mana, the rate is good enough that Tadeas, Juniper Ascendant lists run it at roughly 24% inclusion to reliably find their key enchantments or bodies on curve.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Tadeas, Juniper Ascendant
Tadeas, Juniper Ascendant needs both creatures with power 1 or less and enchantments to sustain its engine, and Commune with the Gods hits both halves while binning useful cards along the way — that dual-type coverage at two mana is exactly why it shows up in nearly a quarter of Tadeas lists.
Yuna, Hope of Spira
Yuna, Hope of Spira is built around assembling specific creatures and auras, and Commune with the Gods functions as a cheap tutor-adjacent effect that also fills the graveyard for recursion — the 15% inclusion rate reflects how naturally it slots into that search-and-recover gameplan.

Commune with the Gods sees its most meaningful play in Commander, where enchantress builds and graveyard-value decks treat the mill as upside rather than a drawback. In Pauper it's a legitimate card in self-mill and constellation strategies, where the two-mana cost and five-card depth are genuinely competitive at the format's power level. Modern and Pioneer have enough better options — Satyr Wayfinder covers the mill angle, while Eladamri's Call and Idyllic Tutor are strict upgrades for pure selection — so Commune with the Gods rarely makes those 60-card lists. Legacy and Vintage have no interest; the card simply doesn't do enough at any cost in those formats.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Commune with the Gods is deep bulk — pick it out of a common bin and don't think twice about the price. There's no pressure driving it up, and with multiple printings keeping supply high, that floor isn't going anywhere.
