Dutiful Replicator card art
Dutiful Replicator turns every nontoken artifact or creature ETB into a free 1/1 — value that compounds fast in the right shell. Mishra, Eminent One and Volo, Guide to Monsters both run it because the token appears without any additional mana investment, making it one of the most efficient passive engines at three mana.

Dutiful Replicator is a Commander card through and through — the effect needs a steady stream of nontoken permanents to matter, and 100-card singleton with artifact and creature-heavy strategies provides exactly that. In Pauper it's legal but rarely sees play; the format moves too fast for a three-mana do-nothing-the-turn-it-arrives enchantment. Legacy and Vintage allow it, but those formats have no interest in slow incremental token generation. Stick to Commander, where the game goes long enough for Dutiful Replicator to generate five or more tokens before anyone blinks.

Price Context

Current price

$0.13 bulk tier

At $0.13, Dutiful Replicator is deep bulk — pick it up in any trade binder or throw it in a cart filler order without thinking twice. Demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to move unless a new commander pushes artifact-token synergies into the spotlight.
