Conduct Electricity copies the next instant or sorcery you cast this turn, doubling the spell's impact for a single blue mana upfront. In Alania, Divergent Storm builds, that copy triggers a second Alania trigger, making this one of the most efficient enablers in the deck.

Alania, Divergent Storm
Alania, Divergent Storm triggers whenever you cast a noncreature spell and again when you copy one, so Conduct Electricity effectively turns any instant or sorcery into two Alania triggers for U — it's the kind of cheap copy effect the deck wants as many of as possible.

In Commander, Conduct Electricity earns its slot specifically in spell-copy-matters decks — outside of Alania, Divergent Storm and similar storm-adjacent commanders, it's a narrower include than a generic cantrip would be. In competitive non-rotating formats like Modern and Legacy, it sits below the bar: Twincast and Reverberate see fringe play, and Conduct Electricity offers nothing those don't. Pauper is the only 60-card environment where budget copy spells occasionally find niche combo homes, but even there the effect needs a very specific shell to justify inclusion.

Price Context
Current price
$0.03 bulk tier
At $0.03, Conduct Electricity is deep bulk — you're paying essentially nothing for the effect. Bulk commons with narrow applications rarely move off the floor, so don't expect the price to budge.
