Eclipsed Boggart
Creature — Goblin Scout
When this creature enters, look at the top four cards of your library. You may reveal a Goblin, Swamp, or Mountain card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Eclipsed Boggart enters the battlefield and immediately puts two Goblin tokens into play alongside it — three bodies for one card. The catch is a one-mana echo cost on your next upkeep; skip it and the Boggart dies, but the tokens stay, so even the worst case nets you value.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Grub, Storied Matriarch
Grub, Storied Matriarch cares about creatures entering the battlefield, and Eclipsed Boggart drops three bodies at once — that's three separate triggers off a single cast, making it one of the most efficient cards in the deck.
Wort, Boggart Auntie
Eclipsed Boggart is a Goblin, which means Wort, Boggart Auntie can return it from the graveyard every combat — pair that with the two free tokens it leaves behind and the card generates recurring tribal value at minimal cost.
Shattergang Brothers
Shattergang Brothers taxes opponents by sacrificing creature types, and Eclipsed Boggart supplies three fodder pieces for the price of one card, keeping the sacrifice engine fed without depleting real threats.
Grenzo, Dungeon Warden
Grenzo, Dungeon Warden flips cards from the bottom of the library and puts creatures into play if their power matches his — Eclipsed Boggart has one power, hitting cleanly off a single counter and immediately flooding the board with extra tokens.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
In Commander, Eclipsed Boggart is a role-player in Goblin tribal and token-generation strategies, never a staple but always a clean inclusion when your commander rewards enter-the-battlefield triggers or needs cheap sacrifice fodder. Competitive formats like Modern and Pioneer have no real use for it — three 1/1s for two mana with an echo rider doesn't clear the efficiency bar when your threats need to win games, not fill boards. Legacy and Vintage have even less patience for it. The card is legal in Standard but there's no tribal support there to make it matter.
