Electroduplicate card art
Electroduplicate copies the best creature on your board and gives the token haste — for two mana and a loot effect stapled on. Dualcaster Mage asks you to hold up instant-speed mana; Electroduplicate lets you slam it on your turn and still cash in on the looting even if the copy is irrelevant. Point it at Etali, Primal Conqueror and you're attacking with two triggers before your opponents can blink.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01

Etali, Primal Conqueror

74.5% of decks · synergy 0.70

Etali, Primal Conqueror is the obvious home — Electroduplicate makes a hasty copy of Etali that swings immediately, doubling your free-cast triggers the same turn you resolve it.

02
Deadpool, Trading Card

Deadpool, Trading Card

61.6% of decks · synergy 0.57

Deadpool, Trading Card cares about going wide with tokens and generating value from creatures entering and dying, so Electroduplicate slots in as cheap, flexible token production with a loot bonus.

04

Clive, Ifrit's Dominant

33.0% of decks · synergy 0.29

Clive, Ifrit's Dominant benefits from creature token generation and explosive combat turns, and Electroduplicate's haste rider means the copy contributes attack damage the moment it appears.

pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Electroduplicate earns its slot — the format's singleton rule makes any flexible copy effect more valuable, and the sheer density of game-ending creatures in 100-card decks means Electroduplicate almost always has a worthwhile target. In competitive constructed formats like Modern and Pioneer, it faces a steeper climb: two mana for a temporary copy with haste is fine, but the loot doesn't offset the card disadvantage unless you're copying something with an enters-the-battlefield trigger worth doubling. Legacy and Vintage have more powerful things to do at two mana, so Electroduplicate sees essentially no play there. Standard is the one competitive format where its ceiling is highest when a dominant creature is legal alongside it, since the pool is smaller and the effect is harder to replace.

Price Context

Current price

$0.96 bulk tier

At $0.96, Electroduplicate sits at the top of the bulk range — cheap enough to throw into any Commander deck running big creatures without a second thought. It holds that price point comfortably given its 74% inclusion rate in Etali decks, and there's no realistic reprint pressure that would push it lower.
