Cultivator Colossus card art
Cultivator Colossus enters and immediately threatens to put your entire land base into play while drawing you cards for each one — the ceiling is absurd, and with Abundance replacing the draw, you never brick on a non-land. The seven-mana cost is real, but in any shell that cares about lands hitting the battlefield, Cultivator Colossus is one of the most explosive single-card turns available to green, and Kirri, Talented Sprout decks in particular treat it as a centerpiece rather than a finisher.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Kirri, Talented Sprout

Kirri, Talented Sprout

59.0% of decks · synergy 0.58

Kirri, Talented Sprout rewards every land entering the battlefield with plant tokens and triggers, so Cultivator Colossus doesn't just refill your hand — it generates a board state in one swing. The 59% inclusion rate reflects how cleanly the Colossus converts excess lands into an army under Kirri's direction.

02
Loot, Exuberant Explorer

Loot, Exuberant Explorer

46.3% of decks · synergy 0.36

Loot, Exuberant Explorer wants to drop multiple lands per turn and punish opponents for it, making Cultivator Colossus a natural top-end that chains land drops together into a massive card draw event. Nearly half of all Loot decks run it as the highest-impact single play the deck can make.

03
Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer

Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer

46.2% of decks · synergy 0.36

Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer grows with every land entering the battlefield and spawns Worm tokens alongside it, so Cultivator Colossus landing can represent a lethal board state on the spot. The Colossus effectively lets Greensleeves commanders close games the same turn they resolve it.

04
Azusa, Lost but Seeking

Azusa, Lost but Seeking

43.7% of decks · synergy 0.34

Azusa, Lost but Seeking provides extra land drop permissions that Cultivator Colossus turns into deep card draws the turn it enters, making the two cards a natural pair in any land-matters build. The combination routinely empties a player's hand of lands and refills it in the same trigger chain.

05
Phylath, World Sculptor

Phylath, World Sculptor

37.1% of decks · synergy 0.34

Phylath, World Sculptor creates Plant tokens for each basic land entering the battlefield, so Cultivator Colossus resolving under Phylath is frequently a game-ending burst of tokens and cards. At 37% inclusion, it is the clearest high-end finisher in Phylath lists.

Commander is where Cultivator Colossus does its best work — the seven-mana cost is manageable with green's ramp density, and the card draw payload scales with however many lands you can chain, making it a genuine late-game engine rather than just a big body. In Modern and Pioneer, it sees fringe play in ramp shells that can assemble enough lands to make the enter trigger meaningful, but the format speed and lack of Abundance redundancy keep it out of consistent maindecks. Legacy and Vintage have access to the same combo lines but the competition from faster win conditions makes Cultivator Colossus too slow to see serious play there. Oathbreaker shares enough of Commander's structure that the card is playable in green land-matters builds, though the smaller deck size slightly limits how explosive the chain gets.
