Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgam

Legendary Artifact Creature — Construct

Trample
Dyadrine enters with a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the amount of mana spent to cast it.
Whenever you attack, you may remove a +1/+1 counter from each of two creatures you control. If you do, draw a card and create a 2/2 colorless Robot artifact creature token.

Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgam card art
Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgam generates mana and counters the moment it enters — the engine starts before you spend another card. The cost is real: it does nothing on its own without creatures already in play, and Crystalline Crawler outclasses it in pure efficiency, so Dyadrine earns its slot specifically in Felothar, Dawn of the Abzan and similar go-wide counter shells where the synergy density justifies the slot.

Felothar, Dawn of the Abzan distributes +1/+1 counters aggressively enough that Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgam enters with a meaningful counter count — turning that board presence directly into mana for the next threat.

Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgam is legal in every major constructed format, but it doesn't show up outside Commander — the effect is too conditional and too slow for the tempo demands of Pioneer, Modern, or Legacy. In Commander, it fits narrow but real: +1/+1 counter decks and token-wide strategies can convert a loaded board into a mana spike that accelerates into a game-ending turn. Outside those shells, three mana for a vanilla 2/2 with conditional upside is below the rate the format demands.

Price Context

Current price

$0.28 bulk tier

At $0.28, Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgam is bulk — it's cheap enough to throw into any counter-synergy build without a second thought. Bulk rares with narrow but real applications tend to sit in this range indefinitely, so don't expect the price to move unless a future commander pushes the archetype into wider play.
