Is Cult of Skaro good in Commander?

Cult of Skaro in Commander — Combos, Decks & Price

Cult of Skaro floods the board with Dalek creature tokens, and in the right shell that means immediate pressure across multiple opponents. The cost is real — five mana for a token-generator lives or dies by whether you can protect it or exploit the tokens before the table answers.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01

Davros, Dalek Creator

79.5% of decks · synergy 0.78

Davros, Dalek Creator turns every Dalek token Cult of Skaro makes into card draw whenever an opponent loses life, so the two pieces form a self-sustaining engine of tokens, damage, and fuel.

02

Missy

33.4% of decks · synergy 0.32

Missy rewards you for getting creatures into opponents' graveyards, and Cult of Skaro's token army is cheap enough to throw into combat or sacrifice effects to trigger that recursion loop repeatedly.

Commander is where Cult of Skaro actually lives — the Dalek token synergies are purpose-built for the 100-card singleton format, and the multiplayer table means three opponents to pressure with a wide board. Legacy and Vintage are legal on paper, but a five-mana creature token-generator with tribal synergies has no competitive footing in either format when faster, generically powerful options dominate. Oathbreaker is worth a mention if you're running a Dalek-themed spellslinger build, but the real home is Commander, full stop.
