Conduit of Worlds gives you a repeatable, on-board Crucible of Worlds effect — and staples a once-per-turn Yawgmoth's Will clause on top of it for free. The catch is a five-mana enchantment that does nothing the turn it enters, so slower metas reward it far more than faster ones; Glacial Chasm decks and Teval, the Balanced Scale lists that cycle permanents through the graveyard are exactly the shells that make the cost feel trivial.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

Teval, the Balanced Scale

63.6% of decks · synergy 0.49

Teval, the Balanced Scale mills and cycles permanents into the graveyard as a core game plan, and Conduit of Worlds turns every land or permanent in that yard into a free replay — the two cards are functionally built for each other.

Titania, Protector of Argoth

55.7% of decks · synergy 0.47

Titania, Protector of Argoth triggers off lands entering from the graveyard, so Conduit of Worlds converts every sacrificed or milled land into both a landfall event and a Titania token, doubling the payoff loop.

Thalia and The Gitrog Monster

55.1% of decks · synergy 0.46

Thalia and The Gitrog Monster dumps lands into the graveyard constantly through Frog triggers and discard, and Conduit of Worlds closes the loop by letting you replay them — sustaining the engine rather than burning out.

Yuma, Proud Protector

42.9% of decks · synergy 0.40

Yuma, Proud Protector cares about deserts leaving the graveyard, and Conduit of Worlds replays those deserts directly from the yard, refueling both the board and Yuma's draw-and-make-token triggers simultaneously.

Azusa, Lost but Seeking

48.2% of decks · synergy 0.39

Azusa, Lost but Seeking plays so many lands per turn that the graveyard fills with excess and sacrificed lands quickly, and Conduit of Worlds lets Azusa keep deploying them — turning land-light late draws into nonstarters less often.

pauper	not legal

Commander is where Conduit of Worlds earns its slot — the long game, the graveyard recursion themes, and the density of land-sacrifice effects all make the five-mana enchantment's slow setup acceptable. In Modern and Legacy, the card is legal but competes with cheaper, faster graveyard engines that don't ask you to wait a full turn to do anything; it sees essentially zero competitive play in either format. Pioneer is the same story: legal on paper, irrelevant in practice, because the format's speed outpaces what a five-mana do-nothing-at-resolution enchantment can offer. Oathbreaker gives it a niche in the same land-graveyard archetypes that want it in Commander, just on a smaller table scale.
