Descendants' Fury
Enchantment
Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, you may sacrifice one of them. If you do, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card that shares a creature type with the sacrificed creature. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Descendants' Fury turns every attacking creature into a free cascade trigger — when a creature you control dies in combat, you exile cards until you hit a creature with a lower mana value and put it onto the battlefield. The setup cost is just five mana for an enchantment that keeps churning as long as your creatures are trading, and Ashling, the Limitless makes that payoff explosive by digging into a library full of high-value phoenixes and elementals.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Ashling, the Limitless
Ashling, the Limitless is the premier home for Descendants' Fury because her ability to copy creatures she creates and her phoenix-heavy tribal package means the enchantment is constantly finding creatures worth cascading into, turning each combat into a recursive value engine.
Syrix, Carrier of the Flame
Syrix, Carrier of the Flame runs a phoenix-dense list where creatures die and return constantly, and Descendants' Fury feeds that loop — creatures dying in combat trigger the exile chain, and the phoenixes you find keep the battlefield replenished for the next trigger.
Sethron, Hurloon General
Sethron, Hurloon General floods the board with Minotaurs that are built to attack and trade, giving Descendants' Fury a reliable stream of death triggers and converting each trade into a free creature off the top of the library.
Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad
Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad rewards attacking into enemy creatures, and Descendants' Fury converts the inevitable combat deaths into replacement threats, keeping pressure on the table even when trades go unfavorably.
Lathliss, Dragon Queen
Lathliss, Dragon Queen decks run dragons with high mana values, so when one dies in combat Descendants' Fury can chain into another substantial dragon for free, compounding the board presence that Lathliss's token generation already builds.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Descendants' Fury is a Commander card through and through — its value compounds over a long game with many combat steps, and the 100-card singleton format gives it a deep library to dig through. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but completely absent; five mana for a conditional enchantment that requires attacking creatures to die is far too slow for those formats. Oathbreaker is the one other format worth mentioning, where a creature-heavy aggressive deck can get some mileage, but the 20-life totals compress the game before Descendants' Fury fully takes over. Stick to Commander.

Price Context
Current price
$1.39 cheap tier
At $1.39, Descendants' Fury is firmly budget territory for an enchantment with genuine tribal-engine upside. It sees enough play in Ashling, the Limitless builds to stay in print demand, so the price is stable rather than a trap waiting to spike or crater.
