Dakmor Salvage card art
Dakmor Salvage is a land that enters tapped and taps for black — unremarkable on its face — but its dredge 2 ability turns it into the axis of one of Commander's most powerful infinite engines. In The Gitrog Monster decks, discarding Dakmor Salvage to itself triggers a loop that draws the entire deck; the cost is running a slightly worse land, and the payoff is a deterministic win.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
The Gitrog Monster

The Gitrog Monster

76.4% of decks · synergy 0.70

Dakmor Salvage is the keystone of The Gitrog Monster's primary combo — discarding it to the Monster's discard trigger dredges it back, which triggers another draw from a land hitting the graveyard, creating a loop that mills the whole deck with a discard outlet in play. Over 76% of Gitrog decks include it for this reason alone.

02
Disa the Restless

Disa the Restless

59.3% of decks · synergy 0.46

Disa the Restless cares about lands entering the graveyard and recurring them, making Dakmor Salvage a repeatable trigger engine — dredging it back from the yard to the hand and replaying the discard cycle generates consistent value off Disa's ability.

03
Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis

Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis

50.6% of decks · synergy 0.44

Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis wants cards in the graveyard as fast as possible, and Dakmor Salvage's dredge 2 fills the yard while remaining a recoverable resource — it feeds convoke and delve costs without permanently losing a land.

05
The Mycotyrant

The Mycotyrant

41.5% of decks · synergy 0.35

The Mycotyrant scales on fungus and creature tokens entering from the graveyard, and Dakmor Salvage supports the self-mill gameplan that gets those creatures into the yard in the first place — it's a low-cost enabler rather than a centerpiece.

Where it lives, where it can’t

Commander is where Dakmor Salvage lives — the Gitrog Monster loop is the defining reason to run it, and singleton format means you want every piece of that engine. In Legacy, Dakmor Salvage saw genuine play in Dredge strategies, where its self-recurring nature made it a resilient threat against hate that exiled individual cards. Modern is legal but the card sees essentially no competitive play there, outclassed by faster graveyard infrastructure. Vintage is legal but irrelevant at that power level. Dakmor Salvage is a Commander card first, a Legacy curiosity second, and nothing else.

Price Context

Current price

$0.42 bulk tier

At $0.42, Dakmor Salvage is bulk despite being a genuine combo piece in one of Commander's most-built decks. The price reflects wide availability across multiple reprints — pick up copies without hesitation, as this is one of the rare bulk rares that actually does something broken.
