Geth's Summons puts up to three creatures from any graveyard directly onto your battlefield — the payoff is enormous for five mana if you've been building poison counters. The poison-counter cost is the only real barrier: Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa generates them naturally through combat, but you need to actually connect before Geth's Summons fires, so it rewards aggressive infect builds and punishes passive ones.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa
Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa is the natural home — her infect commander damage doubles as the poison-counter engine that unlocks Geth's Summons, and reanimating three creatures off opponents' graveyards closes games that combat damage alone can't.
Vishgraz, the Doomhive
Vishgraz, the Doomhive floods the board with mite tokens that deal poison through combat, stacking counters fast enough to make Geth's Summons castable in the mid-game rather than the late game.
Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon
Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon threatens infect commander damage that single-handedly satisfies the poison-counter threshold, giving Geth's Summons a reliable activation condition in a mono-black shell that otherwise lacks token support.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the obvious home for Geth's Summons — multiplayer tables mean opponents' graveyards are stocked, the three-creature ceiling is routinely hit, and infect-themed commanders supply the poison counters organically. In Oathbreaker the card is legal but narrower; the smaller deck size and faster games mean the setup requirement can feel steep. Legacy and Vintage allow it, but five-mana sorceries that demand poison counters have no competitive support in those formats — it's a bulk rare that never shows up there.

Current price
$0.42 bulk tier
At $0.42, Geth's Summons is firmly bulk — the price reflects narrow commander pairing rather than raw power. It's unlikely to spike unless a new infect commander drives a demand wave, so pick it up cheaply now if you're building the archetype.
