Gigantoplasm card art
Gigantoplasm enters as a copy of any creature on the battlefield and can pay mana to pump its power as high as you want — that combination of clone flexibility and late-game damage ceiling is genuinely rare. The ceiling gets obscene fast: blink it with Felidar Guardian to copy a second target, or chain it through Gyruda, Doom of Depths triggers for a board full of oversized threats.

Gyruda, Doom of Depths

61.6% of decks · synergy 0.61

Gyruda, Doom of Depths mills four and puts a creature into play — Gigantoplasm copies the best thing already on the battlefield, then Gyruda triggers again off the new creature, creating a self-feeding chain that ends the game.

Aang, at the Crossroads

17.6% of decks · synergy 0.17

Aang, at the Crossroads rewards you for casting spells across multiple types, and Gigantoplasm's clone ability means it adapts to whatever the board demands — a removal target one turn, a massive combat threat the next.

Commander is where Gigantoplasm actually lives. The singleton format means the board will always have something worth copying, and the X-power ability turns any wide-open attack into lethal damage without needing a dedicated combo setup. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but has never carved out a role — clone effects compete with far more efficient options in those formats, and the six-mana floor is a non-starter. Oathbreaker is a reasonable home if your planeswalker generates enough mana to abuse the pump ability, but the card's real audience is Commander players who want a clone that doubles as a finisher.

Price Context

Current price

$0.58 bulk tier

At $0.58, Gigantoplasm is bulk — you're essentially getting a two-role card (clone plus X-damage closer) for the price of a draft common. That price is stable; the card sees consistent Commander play but isn't chased for any competitive format, so there's no speculative pressure pushing it higher.
