Is Fracture good in Commander?

Fracture in Commander — Combos, Decks & Price

Fracture hits any enchantment, artifact, or planeswalker for two mana at instant speed — that's one of the widest removal footprints in Orzhov at the lowest possible cost. Ardbert, Warrior of Darkness decks run it in nearly two-thirds of lists because it cleans up the permanents that black and white struggle to handle cleanly.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01

Ardbert, Warrior of Darkness

65.3% of decks · synergy 0.45

Ardbert, Warrior of Darkness cares about opponents losing life and permanents leaving the battlefield, and Fracture does double duty — destroying a permanent while potentially feeding Ardbert's damage triggers means it earns its slot in 65% of Ardbert builds.

02

Killian, Decisive Mentor

53.5% of decks · synergy 0.33

Killian, Decisive Mentor reduces the cost of targeted spells with counters, but even at full price Fracture is already efficient — the reason it shows up in over half of Killian decks is pure flexibility, hitting the enchantments and artifacts that spot removal misses.

03

Breena, the Demagogue

48.4% of decks · synergy 0.28

Breena, the Demagogue decks want to keep the board clean of anything that threatens combat, and Fracture answers Ghostly Prison effects, Equipment, and planeswalkers that would otherwise lock down Breena's attack-based engine.

04

Shadrix Silverquill

48.5% of decks · synergy 0.28

Shadrix Silverquill distributes tokens and counters across the table, and Fracture fits cleanly as a catch-all answer to the artifacts and enchantments opponents accumulate — nearly half of Shadrix lists include it because Orzhov has few two-mana answers this broad.

05

Kelsien, the Plague

30.0% of decks · synergy 0.24

Kelsien, the Plague pings creatures and needs removal that covers the non-creature threats those pingers can't touch — Fracture handles enchantments and artifacts that shut down Kelsien's activated ability, making it a consistent utility inclusion.

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 Fracture earns its keep — the format is saturated with Smothering Tithes, Rhystic Studies, and planeswalkers that demand an answer, and two mana at instant speed to hit any of them is a strong rate. In Modern and Legacy, the competition is stiffer: Prismatic Ending and Vindicate exist, and sorcery-speed answers often don't make the cut in faster formats where tempo is everything. Pioneer is the format most likely to give Fracture a legitimate role outside Commander, since the removal pool is narrower and enchantment-heavy midrange decks are common enough to justify the flexibility. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's permanent-heavy ecosystem, so the card translates directly.
