Endless Evil
Enchantment — Aura
Enchant creature you control
At the beginning of your upkeep, create a token that's a copy of enchanted creature, except the token is 1/1.
When enchanted creature dies, if that creature was a Horror, return this card to its owner's hand.

Endless Evil copies every Illusion you control simultaneously — one spell, instant board doubling, and if you've got Timestream Navigator in play, you're taking extra turns off a single blue mana. The cost is real: you need a board of Illusions to copy, so it's a payoff card, not an engine starter, and Captain N'ghathrod decks get there faster than anyone else.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Captain N'ghathrod
Captain N'ghathrod mills opponents and steals their creatures, and many of those stolen creatures become Illusions through N'ghathrod's own ability — Endless Evil then copies the entire stolen pile at once, turning a single good theft into a board state your opponents never recover from.
Umbris, Fear Manifest
Umbris, Fear Manifest grows by exiling cards from opponents' libraries, and because Umbris is itself an Illusion, Endless Evil creates copies of a commander that may already be enormous — each copy enters with the same inflated power, and the threat multiplication is immediate.
Cynette, Jelly Drover
Cynette, Jelly Drover generates Illusion tokens as a matter of course, which means Endless Evil arrives to a ready-made board of targets rather than requiring you to build one from scratch.
Sakashima of a Thousand Faces // Vial Smasher the Fierce
Sakashima of a Thousand Faces // Vial Smasher the Fierce leans on copying permanents for value, and Endless Evil fits that shell as a one-shot mass-clone effect that bypasses the legend rule thanks to Sakashima's own passive.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Endless Evil lives almost entirely in Commander, where the Illusion-tribal density needed to make it explosive is easiest to assemble across 99 cards and where the chaos of a multiplayer board means copying five creatures at once can close the game on the spot. Legacy and Vintage allow it, but competitive lists in those formats have no interest in tribal payoffs that require a stocked board — the card simply has no home there. Oathbreaker is the one fringe exception, where a low-to-the-ground Illusion package could theoretically abuse it, but the 58-card deck size makes consistency harder. For all practical purposes, Commander is the only format that matters for Endless Evil.

Price Context
Current price
$3.82 cheap tier
At $3.82, Endless Evil sits at the high end of the cheap tier — reasonable for a build-around that appears in over 60% of Captain N'ghathrod decks. It holds its price because the demand is narrow but reliable: Illusion-tribal commanders aren't going away, and there's nothing else that does exactly what Endless Evil does.
