Flagstones of Trokair taps for white and replaces itself with a Plains when it dies — meaning land destruction, sacrifice effects, and even opposing Ghost Quarters all trigger a free fetch. The catch is the legendary supertype, which makes it a one-copy card in most decks, but Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge turns that legendary status from a limitation into a draw trigger.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge
Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge draws a card whenever you play a legendary permanent, so Flagstones of Trokair enters as a free cantrip land — white mana plus a card, with a Plains replacement trigger waiting in the wings whenever it leaves the battlefield.
Reyhan, Last of the Abzan // Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful
Yoshimaru grows a counter for each legendary permanent that enters under your control, and Flagstones of Trokair is a zero-cost counter trigger stapled to a land — Reyhan, Last of the Abzan // Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful gets the pump without spending a single card from hand.
Thalia and The Gitrog Monster
Thalia and The Gitrog Monster draws a card whenever a nontoken land enters the battlefield, so the Plains that Flagstones of Trokair fetches on death is a free draw — sacrifice outlets and land-destruction effects actively become card advantage.
Captain Sisay
Flagstones of Trokair is a legendary permanent, which means Captain Sisay can tutor it directly onto the battlefield, and the self-replacing death trigger means it's never truly a wasted tutor if the board gets wiped.
Kethis, the Hidden Hand
Kethis, the Hidden Hand reduces the cost of legendary spells and lets you replay legendaries from the graveyard, and while lands don't cast from the graveyard, Flagstones of Trokair still fills the legendary-density role that makes Kethis's cost reduction fire consistently.

In Commander, Flagstones of Trokair earns its slot in any white deck running legendary-matters payoffs — it's a land that generates card or board advantage without occupying a spell slot. In Legacy, it historically appeared in Land Tax and white-based aggro shells where triggering its replacement effect off an opponent's Wasteland was a meaningful tempo swing. Modern sees fringe play in landfall or sacrifice strategies where the self-replacing death trigger generates value, though competition from fetchlands limits its appeal outside of dedicated legendary builds. Vintage offers the mana density to run it, but seldom does — the effect is too slow for that format's pace. Flagstones of Trokair is effectively a Commander and Legacy card; everywhere else it's role-specific at best.
