Day of Destiny hands every legendary creature you control +2/+2 for two mana — that's a permanent, stackable buff that turns a board of legendary creatures into a serious clock. Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge decks run it at a 43% clip for good reason: every legendary spell you cast draws a card and hits harder.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge
Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge rewards you for packing a legendary-dense list, and Day of Destiny turns that theme into a size advantage — every legendary that triggers Shanid's draw effect also attacks as a bigger threat.
Kethis, the Hidden Hand
Kethis, the Hidden Hand already wants a critical mass of legendary permanents to fuel its graveyard recursion, and Day of Destiny converts that density into board pressure without asking for anything extra.
Dihada, Binder of Wills
Dihada, Binder of Wills generates legendary tokens and tutors up legendary permanents, so Day of Destiny's anthem applies across the entire battlefield Dihada builds — every protected legendary hits for two more.
Ardbert, Warrior of Darkness
Ardbert, Warrior of Darkness cares about legendary creatures dying and entering, so Day of Destiny makes each one a more threatening attacker while the sacrifice-and-recur loops are running.
Jodah, the Unifier
Jodah, the Unifier cascades off legendary spells and wants the widest legendary board possible, and Day of Destiny scales the power of that wide board linearly — more legends means the anthem matters more.

Day of Destiny is a Commander card through and through — outside of 100-card singleton, you rarely assemble enough legendary creatures for a two-mana enchantment anthem to outperform a generic lord. In Legacy and Vintage, the legendary supertype matters almost never in a meaningful board-state context, so it sits unplayed despite being legal. Commander is the one format where legendary density is a built-in deckbuilding axis, which is exactly where Day of Destiny earns its slot.

Current pricing data for Day of Destiny isn't available in this snapshot, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for the live number. It's a niche enchantment with a narrow home, which historically keeps the ceiling low — but demand from dedicated Shanid and Kethis builds can spike single-printing cards like this unpredictably.
