Forth Eorlingas! swings your entire board — tapped and untapped — with trample and haste for a single turn, all for four mana at sorcery speed. In Éowyn, Shieldmaiden decks this is frequently a one-card alpha strike, and outside of dedicated token strategies it's the cleanest mass-haste spell in Boros colors.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Éowyn, Shieldmaiden
Éowyn, Shieldmaiden creates Human tokens whenever creatures attack, so Forth Eorlingas! triggers that engine the moment it resolves — you attack, make tokens, and those tokens join subsequent combats in multi-combat scenarios, compounding the board state in a single turn.
Aragorn, King of Gondor
Aragorn, King of Gondor wants every creature attacking to maximize his Ring-tempting triggers, and Forth Eorlingas! forces exactly that while tacking trample onto every attacker so blockers can't just eat the team and negate the damage.
Samut, the Driving Force
Samut, the Driving Force already gives your creatures vigilance, so Forth Eorlingas! layers trample on top of a board that was already attacking freely — the redundant haste clause rarely matters here, but the trample grant on a wide vigilance board closes games cleanly.
Duskana, the Rage Mother
Duskana, the Rage Mother cares about 2/2 tokens attacking, and Forth Eorlingas! sends the whole token army in with trample on a turn opponents won't see coming — the surprise factor of an instant-speed effect matters less here since it's a sorcery, but the raw board-wide pump gets the job done.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog rewards going fast and going wide, and Forth Eorlingas! converts a developed board into a lethal attack out of nowhere — the trample clause is especially relevant when Sonic decks flood the board with smaller creatures that would otherwise be chump-blocked into irrelevance.

Forth Eorlingas! is a Commander card through and through — the power of a mass-haste, mass-trample effect scales directly with how many creatures you've developed, and nowhere in Magic do boards get wider than multiplayer EDH. It's legal in Legacy and Vintage but sees no competitive play there; four mana at sorcery speed for an attack trigger doesn't slot into any established shell. In Oathbreaker it's playable in aggressive Boros or Naya builds, though the smaller starting hand and faster games mean the setup cost is harder to justify. Commander is where Forth Eorlingas! earns its slot, specifically in go-wide strategies where it functions as the final piece of a kill — not a value engine, a closer.

Price Context
Current price
$3.61 cheap tier
At $3.61, Forth Eorlingas! sits in the cheap tier and is correctly priced for a narrow but high-impact finisher that sees play almost exclusively in Éowyn and Aragorn builds. Demand is concentrated enough that the price is unlikely to spike further, making it a low-risk pickup for any deck that wants it.
