Cultivator Drone taps for one colorless mana and has a triggered ability that adds one colorless whenever you tap a creature for mana — but only if you control a Eldrazi. Outside of dedicated Eldrazi tribal builds, that rider makes it a strictly worse Llanowar Elves with a hoop to jump through.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Cultivator Drone is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it sees meaningful play in almost none of them. In Commander it belongs only in Eldrazi tribal decks where the colorless-mana rider consistently fires — think Kozilek or Ulamog as commanders where every creature on board is Eldrazi. In Pauper, where the card is technically legal, the format's efficient one-drop mana creatures leave no room for a three-mana body that asks you to meet a tribal condition. Everywhere else, the card is outclassed by generic ramp before the conversation starts.
