Electrodominance card art
Electrodominance deals X damage and lets you cast a spell with mana value X or less for free — that's a removal spell and a free spell stapled together at instant speed. The cost is variance: you need mana to pump X and a hand full of spells worth cheating in, which makes it a build-around rather than a generic include. Imodane, the Pyrohammer and Mizzix of the Izmagnus both solve that problem structurally, which is exactly why those decks run it at high rates.

Imodane, the Pyrohammer

Imodane, the Pyrohammer

60.6% of decks · synergy 0.55

Imodane, the Pyrohammer copies damage dealt to players onto every other opponent, so a single Electrodominance targeting a player for 6 becomes a three-way 6-damage event — and still casts a free spell on top of it. That doubling effect makes the X cost dramatically more efficient than it looks.

02
Shiko and Narset, Unified

Shiko and Narset, Unified

54.9% of decks · synergy 0.53

Shiko and Narset, Unified reward casting noncreature spells from unusual zones, and Electrodominance's free-cast clause is exactly the kind of unusual zone-circumventing text that fuels that engine. The combination lets the deck chain threats and interaction in the same motion.

03
Fire Lord Azula

Fire Lord Azula

55.6% of decks · synergy 0.51

Fire Lord Azula cares about instants and sorceries dealing damage, so Electrodominance earns double duty: it deals direct damage to trigger Azula's ability while simultaneously casting a free spell to extend the chain. The inclusion rate above 55% reflects how naturally it slots into that gameplan.

04
Vadrik, Astral Archmage

Vadrik, Astral Archmage

48.1% of decks · synergy 0.42

Vadrik, Astral Archmage reduces instant and sorcery costs based on his power, which can bring Electrodominance's effective X investment down substantially — meaning the free spell you cast can be far larger than the mana you actually spent. It's one of the cleaner mana-multiplier interactions the card has in Commander.

05
Rosheen, Roaring Prophet

Rosheen, Roaring Prophet

37.0% of decks · synergy 0.35

Rosheen, Roaring Prophet taps for four mana restricted to X spells, which directly funds Electrodominance and lets the deck go wide on X-cost payoffs. Electrodominance fits cleanly into that X-spell package and adds a free cast on top of the damage.

In Commander, Electrodominance earns its slot in any deck that can reliably load up X and wants instant-speed access to free casts — the combo potential with suspend cards like Living End is less relevant in singleton, but the raw tempo of dealing damage and casting a free spell in one action is real. In Modern and Legacy, Electrodominance historically enabled degenerate lines by casting zero-mana suspend spells like Living End and Crashing Footfalls for free, essentially building a combo deck around a single card's text box. Pioneer sees it as a legitimate combo piece in the same vein, though the suspend pool is shallower. Vintage and Oathbreaker are legal but niche — the card doesn't break anything in Vintage's power-level context, and in Oathbreaker it occupies the same build-around role as Commander.

Price Context

Current price

$1.03 cheap tier

At $1.03, Electrodominance is firmly budget territory for a card with genuine combo applications across multiple formats. That price has held low because it never broke anything ban-worthy, but the demand floor from Modern combo decks and Commander build-arounds keeps it from dropping much further.
