Fungal Plots turns every dead Saproling into a card — exile two to draw one, with a free 1/1 stapled on when you hit five exiled fungi — and the whole engine costs two mana to install. In any Shroofus Sproutsire deck that's already flooding the board with Saprolings, that's a self-replacing draw engine that scales with your creature count rather than your mana.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Shroofus Sproutsire
Shroofus Sproutsire generates Saprolings as a core mechanic, so Fungal Plots slots in as a free value layer — exile spent tokens to keep drawing into more threats while the exile count ticks toward the bonus 1/1.
Slimefoot, the Stowaway
Slimefoot, the Stowaway drains opponents whenever a Saproling dies, and Fungal Plots gives those same tokens a second job: fuel a draw engine that keeps the Saproling production running.
Ghave, Guru of Spores
Ghave, Guru of Spores manufactures and sacrifices tokens on demand, giving Fungal Plots a reliable exile stream — the two-mana enchantment slots cleanly into Ghave's token-churn loops as a draw outlet that doesn't compete for sacrifice fodder.
The Mycotyrant
The Mycotyrant scales on the number of fungi and Saprolings hitting the graveyard, and Fungal Plots extends the value chain by converting those same tokens into cards rather than letting the exile zone go to waste.
Slimefoot and Squee
Slimefoot and Squee constantly recurs creatures and generates Saprolings, making the exile cost on Fungal Plots nearly trivial — you're converting tokens you'd sacrifice anyway into a steady card-draw drip.

Fungal Plots is a Commander card — full stop. The token-exile draw engine is too slow and too narrow to compete in Modern or Pioneer, where two mana buys instant-speed interaction rather than a build-around enchantment that asks you to exile pairs of creatures. Legacy and Vintage have far more efficient card draw available, and the Saproling synergy doesn't translate into those formats' game plans. Commander is where the setup cost is forgiven and a dedicated token deck reliably fuels the exile condition turn after turn, making Fungal Plots a legitimate draw engine rather than a novelty.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Fungal Plots is deep bulk — easy to pick up from any card shop's common bin or as a throw-in on any order. Bulk enchantments with niche tribal appeal rarely move off the floor, so don't expect the price to shift unless a high-profile Commander precon pushes Saproling strategies into the mainstream.
