Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer turns every land drop into a 3/3 Badger token and scales as a Maro — the threat and the engine are the same card. The cost is a five-mana investment that does nothing until you play another land, which makes it awkward in slower hands but backbreaking alongside Kodama of the East Tree or Titania, Nature's Force.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

Titania, Nature's Force

35.4% of decks · synergy 0.30

Titania, Nature's Force triggers off every Forest entering the battlefield, which means the same lands fueling Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer's token production are also producing Elemental tokens — two separate payoffs from one land drop, and the board can get out of hand by turn six.

The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride

29.1% of decks · synergy 0.28

The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride lets you pitch lands to draw cards, and Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer converts each of those discarded lands into a 3/3 before they hit the yard — the discard cost becomes a board-development bonus rather than a tempo loss.

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild

32.0% of decks · synergy 0.27

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild turns your creatures into Forests, which means Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer can trigger off creature ETBs as well as actual land drops — the token engine scales far beyond what a normal lands deck produces.

Azusa, Lost but Seeking

31.5% of decks · synergy 0.26

Azusa, Lost but Seeking exists to play additional lands per turn, and every one of those extra drops makes a 3/3 with Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer in play — three lands a turn is a realistic nine power in tokens by the end of your main phase.

Bonny Pall, Clearcutter

27.6% of decks · synergy 0.25

Bonny Pall, Clearcutter produces Treefolk tokens and cares about large creatures, and Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer grows naturally to match a land-heavy board — the two cards reward the same play pattern without competing for resources.

Where it lives, where it can’t

Format	Verdict

modern	not legal

standard	not legal
vintage	legal
pauper	not legal
oathbreaker	legal

Commander is the unambiguous home for Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer — 100-card decks built around land synergies have the density of triggers and the extra-land-drop effects that turn it into a genuine engine rather than a novelty. It's legal in Legacy and Vintage as well, but a five-mana creature that relies on lands-matter infrastructure has no realistic path into those formats, where the game is often decided before it resolves. Oathbreaker is the one alternative worth mentioning: as a signature spell's support piece in a green value shell, it can do real work, though its best role there is still as a secondary payoff behind a dedicated land-drop commander.
