Eye of Ugin card art
Eye of Ugin makes every colorless creature spell cheaper and lets you tutor any Eldrazi directly to hand — two abilities that would be expensive on a permanent you had to cast, but this one costs nothing to put into play. Commanders like Ulalek, Fused Atrocity that chain Eldrazi triggers turn it into an engine piece rather than a utility land, and even a more casual Eldrazi pile runs it simply because free is free.

Eye of Ugin carries one restriction worth naming: the land itself produces no mana, so it earns its slot purely on the two activated abilities. Modern banned it because the tutor ability, combined with Eldrazi that could reliably reduce their own costs, produced turn-two kills that the format couldn't contain. Legacy and Vintage tolerate it because both formats have faster, more consistent answers and a denser threat ecosystem that keeps any single land in check. Commander gives it a pass for structural reasons — the tutor costs seven mana and targets only Eldrazi, so the effect lands late and narrow rather than warping the early game.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Ulalek, Fused Atrocity

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity

44.4% of decks · synergy 0.41

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity copies every triggered ability of each Eldrazi that shares a type with the cast trigger, so Eye of Ugin's cost reduction accelerates the critical mass of Eldrazi needed to make those copy chains explosive.

02
Zhulodok, Void Gorger

Zhulodok, Void Gorger

64.6% of decks · synergy 0.32

Zhulodok, Void Gorger gives colorless spells that cost seven or more double cascade, which means Eye of Ugin's cost reduction directly expands the window in which you can hit those thresholds and still have mana left over to cast what you find.

04
Herigast, Erupting Nullkite

Herigast, Erupting Nullkite

18.7% of decks · synergy 0.18

Herigast, Erupting Nullkite reduces the first colorless creature you cast each turn by its own foretell cost, stacking directly with Eye of Ugin's reduction to put massive Eldrazi into play several turns ahead of schedule.

05
Kruphix, God of Horizons

Kruphix, God of Horizons

15.9% of decks · synergy 0.15

Kruphix, God of Horizons banks unspent mana across turns as colorless, and Eye of Ugin converts that banked mana into a cheaper Eldrazi or a hard tutor once the pool grows large enough.

Budget Alternatives

Cheaper options that do most of the same work

Eye of Ugin's tutor mode is effectively irreplaceable at budget — no other land finds Eldrazi for free — but Sanctum of Ugin comes closest by chaining creature-to-creature searches whenever you cast a colorless spell with converted mana cost seven or greater, at roughly $0.50. For raw cost reduction, Urza's Incubator names a creature type and shaves two mana off every spell of that type, landing the same discount Eye of Ugin provides without being tied to colorless identity, and it currently sits under a dollar.

Price Context

Current price

$62.06 premium tier

At $62.06, Eye of Ugin sits firmly in the premium tier — a price driven by the ban exposure in Modern and the density of Eldrazi Commander builds that treat it as a near-auto-include. It's a staple in a narrow archetype rather than a crossover staple, so its ceiling is tied directly to how popular colorless Commander remains.
