Cyber Conversion turns every creature an opponent controls into a Cyberman artifact creature, stripping their types and abilities — on a permanent enchantment for four mana. In Davros, Dalek Creator builds especially, this effect is less a utility spell and more a core engine piece.

Davros, Dalek Creator
Davros, Dalek Creator drains life whenever a non-Dalek creature dies, and Cyber Conversion blanket-converts opponent creatures into Cybermen — artifacts with no relevant types — setting up mass sacrifice or removal spells to drain the table simultaneously.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |

| modern | not legal |

| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Cyber Conversion is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but its real home is Commander — a 100-card singleton format where blanket type-erasing enchantments hit multiple opponents and generate disproportionate value. In Legacy and Vintage, four mana for a do-nothing-until-interaction enchantment is too slow against combo and tempo decks that end games before it matters. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander format where Cyber Conversion is plausibly useful, since the lower starting life totals make the drain synergies faster and more punishing.

Price Context
Current price
$0.77 bulk tier
At $0.77, Cyber Conversion sits firmly in bulk territory — cheap enough to slot in without hesitation if the synergy fits. Given its narrow appeal outside of Doctor Who commander shells, don't expect the price to climb; this is a card you pick up for the deck, not as a spec.
