Gold Myr card art
Gold Myr is a two-mana white mana rock that trades a pip of efficiency for a creature type that matters — in the right shell, that distinction is worth everything. Outside Myr synergy builds, it's a reasonable accelerant; inside Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch or any list running Myr Galvanizer loops, it becomes a combo piece that also taps for mana.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch

Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch

96.3% of decks · synergy 0.93

Gold Myr appears in over 96% of Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch decks, and for good reason — it's both a mana source and a body that Urtet untaps each combat, feeding the storm of Myr that the deck needs to execute.

02
Alibou, Ancient Witness

Alibou, Ancient Witness

66.0% of decks · synergy 0.58

Alibou, Ancient Witness wants attacking artifacts, and Gold Myr doubles as ramp and a trigger source — every swing with it digs deeper into the library and pushes damage through Alibou's ability.

03
Urza, Chief Artificer

Urza, Chief Artificer

45.2% of decks · synergy 0.43

Urza, Chief Artificer gives all artifact creatures menace, which means Gold Myr stops being a passive rock and becomes a relevant threat that demands two blockers while still producing white mana.

04
God-Eternal Oketra

God-Eternal Oketra

40.4% of decks · synergy 0.34

God-Eternal Oketra triggers off every creature cast, and Gold Myr at two mana is one of the cheapest ways to put a body on the board and bank mana for the follow-up 4/4 token Oketra generates.

05
The Jolly Balloon Man

The Jolly Balloon Man

41.4% of decks · synergy 0.33

The Jolly Balloon Man rewards running low-cost creatures, and Gold Myr slots in as a cheap artifact body that also ramps — exactly the kind of card that keeps the balloon counters stacking.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Gold Myr does its real work — the Myr creature type unlocks synergies that turn a modest mana rock into a combo component, particularly in Urtet builds running Myr Galvanizer loops. In Pauper it's a legitimate option in artifact-based or colorless-splash decks that need creature-based ramp at common. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; the format speed makes a 2-mana 1/1 that produces one mana a non-starter when faster alternatives exist. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's dynamic for the same Myr-centric builds. Pioneer and Standard are off the table entirely.

Price Context

Current price

$1.27 cheap tier

At $1.27, Gold Myr sits at the high end of the cheap tier for what is essentially a narrow mana rock — the premium is entirely driven by Myr tribal demand, and that demand is stable as long as Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch remains a popular Commander. Outside that context, cheaper generic rocks exist, but in-tribe you're paying fair market.
