Eldrazi Conscription card art
Eldrazi Conscription turns any creature into an annihilator-triggering, trample-swinging threat that ends games on contact — +10/+10 with annihilator 2 is not a negotiation. Eight mana is the cost, and in most shells you pay it honestly, but Bruna, Light of Alabaster cheats it into play for free and Rafiq of the Many doubles the damage before blockers even matter.

Commanders with the highest synergy

Bruna, Light of Alabaster

Bruna, Light of Alabaster

73.5% of decks · synergy 0.72

Bruna, Light of Alabaster is the natural home: her attack trigger pulls Eldrazi Conscription directly from your graveyard or hand onto her body, bypassing the eight-mana cost entirely and presenting a lethal swing the same turn she connects.

02
Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor

Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor

58.9% of decks · synergy 0.57

Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor cares about auras on your commander, and Eldrazi Conscription is the single biggest payoff — slapping annihilator 2 and +10/+10 on a commander with built-in protection makes every unblocked attack a board-ending event.

03
Eriette, the Beguiler

Eriette, the Beguiler

57.8% of decks · synergy 0.56

Eriette, the Beguiler enchants opponents' creatures to drain life and steal boards, and Eldrazi Conscription gives her a closing weapon: equip it to her own creature or a stolen threat and the annihilator trigger erases whatever defenses remain.

04
Ulalek, Fused Atrocity

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity

47.0% of decks · synergy 0.44

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity wants the heaviest Eldrazi cards in the 99, and Eldrazi Conscription fits the tribal theme while doubling as a standalone finisher on any creature Ulalek sends into combat.

05
Killian, Decisive Mentor

Killian, Decisive Mentor

39.1% of decks · synergy 0.38

Killian, Decisive Mentor reduces aura costs by two, bringing Eldrazi Conscription down to six mana — still expensive, but now in the range of a mid-game play rather than a late-game lottery ticket.

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is the format Eldrazi Conscription was built for: one creature connecting with annihilator 2 and a +10/+10 bonus is often enough to knock a player out, and the singleton singleton environment means opponents can't reliably expect to see it coming. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but sees no meaningful play — eight mana is a non-starter in formats where the game ends on turns one through three. Modern is the same story: the card is castable in theory and ignored in practice. Eldrazi Conscription is a Commander card through and through, and that's where it does its best work.

Price Context

Current price

$4.40 cheap tier

At $4.40, Eldrazi Conscription sits in a comfortable spot — cheap enough to include without budget hesitation, but not so ubiquitous that copies disappear from shelves. It's a stable card with a dedicated audience in aura and Eldrazi commander decks, so the price reflects steady demand rather than a spike waiting to happen.
