Duskmourn's Domination card art
Duskmourn's Domination gives you hard control of any creature for five mana — steal it, keep it until end of turn, and attack with it immediately thanks to haste. Five mana is on the steep side, but unconditional theft at instant speed with no power or toughness ceiling is the clean payoff.

In Commander, Duskmourn's Domination earns its slot in theft-focused or Grixis-style value decks — stealing an opponent's Eldrazi or game-winning creature for a combat step, then watching that creature die in the red zone, is a clean two-for-one. At five mana it competes with Claim the Firstborn and Act of Treason effects that cost two or three, but the lack of a power restriction makes it scale into the late game where those cheaper spells often can't target the threat that matters. In 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, five mana for a one-turn steal is too slow without a guaranteed sacrifice outlet to make it permanent, so it rarely makes the cut. Standard is its best non-Commander home if the format has large, punishing creatures worth borrowing for a single combat.

Price Context

Current price

$0.04 bulk tier

At $0.04, Duskmourn's Domination is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard and shipping, not the effect. Bulk uncommons rarely climb without a competitive breakout, so pick up copies freely and don't expect the price to move.
