Great Furnace card art
Great Furnace enters untapped, taps for red, and counts as an artifact — three things a land almost never does for free. Osgir, the Reconstructor runs it in over 91% of builds because it's a sacrifice target, a recursion target, and a mana source all at once; Peregrin Took players who splash artifact synergies grab it for the same density reason.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

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

Great Furnace carries one restriction worth naming: it's banned in Modern, where artifact lands fueled Affinity strategies fast enough to warp the format beyond recovery. Everywhere else it's legal — Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, Commander, Oathbreaker — and Commander in particular gives it a clean pass because the 100-card singleton environment makes explosive turn-one Affinity draws essentially impossible to replicate. The upside (artifact type on a land) remains fully intact; the broken context that got it banned simply doesn't exist at a 4-player table.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Osgir, the Reconstructor

Osgir, the Reconstructor

91.5% of decks · synergy 0.79

Osgir, the Reconstructor wants Great Furnace as both a free artifact for the graveyard and a recursion target he can double up at no extra cost — it's a land that actively feeds his ability.

02
Saheeli, the Gifted

Saheeli, the Gifted

89.2% of decks · synergy 0.79

Saheeli, the Gifted's cost-reduction ability scales with artifacts you control, so Great Furnace bumps that count without spending a card slot on a nonland — pure efficiency for her storm-style artifact payoffs.

03
Imskir Iron-Eater

Imskir Iron-Eater

83.9% of decks · synergy 0.78

Imskir Iron-Eater cares about sacrificing artifacts to grow and draw cards, and Great Furnace is a land that doubles as a free sacrifice outlet fodder — it checks the artifact box without costing a spell slot.

04
Mishra, Eminent One

Mishra, Eminent One

81.2% of decks · synergy 0.76

Mishra, Eminent One's token-copy triggers care about artifact count on board, and Great Furnace inflates that count from the land zone where opposing removal rarely reaches.

05
Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant

Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant

87.0% of decks · synergy 0.75

Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant's affinity-style cost reduction means every artifact in play matters, and Great Furnace contributes to that count while still functioning as a mana source — no opportunity cost.

Price Context

Current price

$2.63 cheap tier

At $2.63, Great Furnace sits at the cheap end of the spectrum for a card that pulls near-90% inclusion rates across multiple artifact commanders. That price is fair and unlikely to swing dramatically — it's widely available, has been printed more than once, and the demand ceiling is set by Commander casual rather than competitive format pressure.
