Emrakul's Influence card art
Emrakul's Influence draws two cards every time you cast an Eldrazi with annihilator, turning your late-game threats into card advantage engines on top of their already backbreaking ETB and combat effects. Two mana for a permanent that refuels your hand each time you land an Ulamog or Emrakul is a real return — run it in any dedicated Eldrazi shell without hesitation.

Emrakul's Influence is purely a Commander card — the formats where you'd want it are exactly the ones where casting multiple massive annihilator creatures in a single game is realistic. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer, Eldrazi decks are built around efficiency and speed rather than grinding card advantage off repeated haymakers, so the enchantment sits idle too often to justify the slot. Commander is where annihilator creatures get cast from the command zone or cheated into play repeatedly, and Emrakul's Influence rewards every one of those moments with two fresh cards. Oathbreaker is technically legal but faces the same problem as the 60-card formats — the game ends too fast for this to generate meaningful value.

Price Context

Current price

$0.21 bulk tier

At $0.21, Emrakul's Influence is deep bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a card with a narrow but genuine niche in Eldrazi Commander builds. The price is unlikely to move unless a high-profile Eldrazi commander drives demand, so pick up copies now if you need them and don't expect the floor to drop further.
