Decoction Module card art
Decoction Module turns every creature entering the battlefield into an energy counter, and that passive alone carries significant weight in any shell that wants to stockpile energy at scale. The real ceiling is combo territory: Gonti's Aether Heart pairs with it to generate extra turns, and Saheeli, Radiant Creator can loop the engine to absurd depths.

Liberty Prime, Recharged cares about energy as both a resource and a payoff trigger, and Decoction Module provides the steady per-creature income that keeps Liberty Prime's cost manageable and its activated abilities online.

Decoction Module is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees virtually no competitive play outside Commander — energy as a mechanic simply doesn't have the density or payoff speed that those formats demand. In Commander, it functions as infrastructure rather than a standalone threat: the value compounds over a long game, and the combo potential with Gonti's Aether Heart makes it a genuine win condition in dedicated energy builds. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander format where an energy-focused deck could theoretically leverage it, but the card pool is narrow enough that the support isn't really there.

Pricing data for Decoction Module isn't currently available in this snapshot, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for a live number. Given that it's a non-mythic artifact from a standard set with niche but real Commander demand, it typically sits in bulk-to-low-value territory and is worth picking up cheaply for any energy deck.
