Is Eris, Roar of the Storm good in Commander?

Eris, Roar of the Storm in Commander — Combos, Decks & Price

Eris, Roar of the Storm lands as a flying 5/5 that rewards spellcasting with immediate board presence — every instant or sorcery you cast after her puts a 1/1 Bird token with flying into play, and if you cast two or more in a turn she untaps and becomes free to swing again. The cost is six mana and a deck that's already built around spell velocity, which Stella Lee, Wild Card shells already are, making Eris a near-automatic inclusion there rather than a deliberate choice.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01

Stella Lee, Wild Card

33.2% of decks · synergy 0.29

Stella Lee, Wild Card rewards casting multiple spells each turn with extra copy triggers, so Eris, Roar of the Storm slots in as both a payoff and a token engine — each spell Stella copies or chains into triggers Eris, and two spells in a turn means Eris untaps to swing for five in the air.

02

Lilah, Undefeated Slickshot

19.6% of decks · synergy 0.16

Lilah, Undefeated Slickshot cares about instants and sorceries for prowess-style pumps and extra draws, and Eris, Roar of the Storm adds a second axis by converting that same spell density into a growing flock of fliers.

03

Neera, Wild Mage

18.4% of decks · synergy 0.15

Neera, Wild Mage randomly recasts spells from the top of the library, and every hit that resolves counts as a cast trigger — Eris, Roar of the Storm turns Neera's chaotic high-variance engine into unexpected air power whenever the cascade fires.

04

Ashling, Rekindled

14.7% of decks · synergy 0.11

Ashling, Rekindled builds around recurring spells from the graveyard, and Eris, Roar of the Storm benefits directly from that repetition, generating a Bird token for each recurred instant or sorcery and untapping to attack once the second spell resolves.

05

Bria, Riptide Rogue

12.6% of decks · synergy 0.09

Bria, Riptide Rogue rewards spell-slinging with connive and evasion payoffs, and Eris, Roar of the Storm layers on top by turning that same spell count into a wide flying board that Bria's menace-style pressure can't replicate alone.

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

Commander is where Eris, Roar of the Storm does her real work — the format's longer games and spell-heavy archetypes give her time to generate a meaningful token army, and the combination of a 5/5 flier plus incremental Birds at six mana is competitive with other top-end payoffs in Izzet spellslinger builds. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; six mana is unplayable in those formats, and neither has the token-synergy infrastructure that makes her good. Oathbreaker is the only other format worth a mention — she's a legal planeswalker-adjacent card choice there, though her ceiling is lower without the 99-card density of spells a full Commander deck provides.

Price Context

Current price

$4.52 cheap tier

At $4.52, Eris, Roar of the Storm sits in the cheap tier where the price-to-impact ratio is genuinely favorable — she's a mythic-level effect for a draft-rare price. Demand from Stella Lee and Izzet spellslinger builds keeps a floor under the price, so she's unlikely to crater, but she's also not a card climbing toward $10 without a reprint catalyst.
