Fanatic of Mogis enters and deals damage equal to your red devotion — in a deck built around red permanents, that's often 10 or more damage to every opponent before it ever attacks. The cost is real: it does nothing without a board already established, and commanders like Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink or Sethron, Hurloon General are exactly the kind of devotion-dense engines that make the payoff worth building around.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Sethron, Hurloon General
Sethron, Hurloon General floods the board with red Minotaur tokens, and every one of those permanents is a devotion pip that Fanatic of Mogis converts into direct damage on entry — 86% of Sethron decks run it for exactly that reason.
Delina, Wild Mage
Delina, Wild Mage creates temporary copies of creatures, and each copy of Fanatic of Mogis triggers its own ETB, stacking damage across all opponents before the tokens vanish at end of turn.
Clive, Ifrit's Dominant
Clive, Ifrit's Dominant is a high-devotion red commander that naturally stacks red pips, making Fanatic of Mogis a reliable burst-damage piece that scales with everything Clive wants to be doing anyway.
Rionya, Fire Dancer
Rionya, Fire Dancer makes multiple copies of a creature at the end of combat, and each Fanatic of Mogis copy fires off a fresh ETB trigger — one cast turns into a wave of damage that can close out the game.
Neriv, Heart of the Storm
Neriv, Heart of the Storm rewards casting spells repeatedly, and Fanatic of Mogis is a high-impact ETB that gets better every time Neriv's triggers let you recast or copy it into a board full of red permanents.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Fanatic of Mogis actually lives — three opponents means the ETB damage hits three times as hard in terms of total life lost across the table, and red devotion decks can realistically enter it for 15 or more damage in the right shell. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer it's fringe at best: four mana is a lot to ask when the damage isn't guaranteed and any removal in response blanks the entire play. Legacy and Vintage are theoretically legal but offer nothing that makes Fanatic of Mogis relevant at those power levels. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander dynamic on a smaller scale — if your planeswalker is mono-red and you've built for devotion, the math still works.

Price Context
Current price
$0.41 bulk tier
At $0.41, Fanatic of Mogis is firmly bulk — it's one of the cheapest high-synergy includes you'll find for any red devotion or ETB-copy commander. The price reflects its narrow application rather than its ceiling; in the right deck it punches well above what a $0.41 card has any business doing.
