Gauntlet of Power card art
Gauntlet of Power doubles the mana produced by basic lands of a chosen color and pumps every creature of that color — five mana of work that warps the board the turn it lands. The cost is real: it helps everyone, and in a mono-colored deck like Ashling the Pilgrim you're handing each opponent running that color a free Cluestone every turn, which is why Palinchron decks and other combo shells want to cash in the mana advantage the same turn they make it.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Ashling the Pilgrim

Ashling the Pilgrim

30.6% of decks · synergy 0.25

Ashling the Pilgrim runs on red mana and needs a lot of it — Gauntlet of Power effectively doubles the rate at which you can pump her, and the +1/+1 anthem means she enters combat already larger, which telescopes the number of activations required to one-shot the table.

02
Omnath, Locus of Mana

Omnath, Locus of Mana

15.6% of decks · synergy 0.14

Omnath, Locus of Mana stores every unspent green mana as permanent stats on itself, so Gauntlet of Power doesn't just accelerate you into bigger spells — it doubles the counters Omnath accumulates on any turn you don't spend out.

03
Braids, Conjurer Adept

Braids, Conjurer Adept

15.2% of decks · synergy 0.11

Braids, Conjurer Adept already runs a high density of expensive blue permanents, and Gauntlet of Power front-loads enough mana acceleration to deploy those threats ahead of schedule while the anthem turns whatever hits the table into a larger threat.

04
Kami of the Crescent Moon

Kami of the Crescent Moon

14.1% of decks · synergy 0.10

Kami of the Crescent Moon wants to flood the table with cards and ride a tempo advantage built on cheap blue interaction, and Gauntlet of Power gives that deck the mana buffer to actually cast what it draws ahead of curve.

Commander is by far the primary home for Gauntlet of Power — the multiplayer environment punishes the symmetrical mana doubling less because you're choosing a color your opponents are unlikely to all share, and mono-colored commanders extract the maximum asymmetric value. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but sees essentially no play; five mana for a conditional mana doubler is too slow against those formats' threats, and neither format has the mono-color redundancy that makes Gauntlet a reliable engine. Oathbreaker shares Commander's multiplayer structure and color-identity rules, so the same mono-color shells that want it there will want it in Oathbreaker.

Price Context

Current price

$3.67 cheap tier

At $3.67, Gauntlet of Power sits in the cheap tier and is straightforwardly underpriced for what it does in the right shell — a five-mana piece that doubles mana and pumps a whole color has historically commanded more. It's a stable pickup rather than a spec, worth grabbing now for any mono-colored build you're already assembling.
