Final Parting card art
Final Parting is a five-mana tutor that puts one card into your hand and a second directly into your graveyard — a split-destination effect no other black tutor replicates cleanly. In K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth decks, the life-to-mana conversion makes the five-mana ask nearly irrelevant, and loading Walk the Aeons into the graveyard while grabbing a combo piece in hand is exactly the kind of two-step that ends games.

39.2% of decks · synergy 0.35

K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth pays life instead of mana, so Final Parting's five-mana cost shrinks to two generic — making it one of the most efficient tutors in the deck and a reliable way to assemble combo pieces in a single cast.

02
The Beamtown Bullies

The Beamtown Bullies

30.8% of decks · synergy 0.29

The Beamtown Bullies needs a specific high-powered creature in an opponent's graveyard, and Final Parting lets you put that creature there while fetching whatever enabler or protection piece you need to survive the turn.

03
Magar of the Magic Strings

Magar of the Magic Strings

30.4% of decks · synergy 0.29

Magar of the Magic Strings converts instants and sorceries in the graveyard into 2/3 creatures, so Final Parting does double duty — stocking the graveyard with a high-value spell while pulling the key piece you need to cast next.

04
Trazyn the Infinite

Trazyn the Infinite

25.5% of decks · synergy 0.21

Trazyn the Infinite copies abilities of artifact creatures in the graveyard, and Final Parting is one of the cleanest ways to put the right artifact creature in the bin while keeping combo infrastructure in hand.

05
Greasefang, Okiba Boss

Greasefang, Okiba Boss

16.3% of decks · synergy 0.15

Greasefang, Okiba Boss reanimates Vehicles from the graveyard, and Final Parting is the go-to one-card setup — dumping Parhelion II or your Vehicle of choice into the graveyard and grabbing Greasefang or a haste enabler in hand.

Commander is where Final Parting earns its keep — singleton construction means finding two specific cards in one cast is worth the five-mana premium, and graveyard synergies are abundant enough that the 'card to graveyard' half is frequently a bonus rather than a cost. In Legacy and Vintage, it's legal but effectively irrelevant; those formats have access to Entomb, Demonic Tutor, and Vampiric Tutor at lower costs with no splitting required. Modern and Pioneer are similar — black has cheaper, more flexible options, and few graveyard strategies need this exact split badly enough to run it. Final Parting is a Commander card through and through.

Price Context

Current price

$0.59 bulk tier

At $0.59, Final Parting sits in bulk territory despite being a genuinely unique effect in Commander. It's a safe pickup — unique tutor effects at this price rarely stay there as more graveyard-synergy commanders enter the format.
