Grow from the Ashes card art
Grow from the Ashes puts one or two basic lands directly onto the battlefield — your choice at cast time — making it a scalable ramp spell that pulls double duty when you need it most. At three mana for the base effect it's asking a bit more than Cultivate, but Koma, World-Eater and other high-CMC commanders that want every land drop make the kicker cost easy to justify.

Koma, World-Eater

Koma, World-Eater

10.3% of decks · synergy 0.09

Koma, World-Eater demands a heavy land count to reliably cast and replay an eight-mana commander, and Grow from the Ashes' kicker mode fetches two basics at once to compress that ramp window meaningfully.

Loot, Exuberant Explorer

Loot, Exuberant Explorer rewards flooding the board with lands, and Grow from the Ashes' kicker mode delivers two basics in a single spell — doubling the triggers Loot wants to see.

In Commander, Grow from the Ashes earns its slot in any green deck that hits five or more mana consistently — the kicker mode pulls two basics and turns one spell into nearly two land drops, which matters in games that go long. Pauper is where it sees the most competitive daylight outside of Commander, since common-legal ramp options are narrow and the flexibility of a one-or-two land fetch at instant-adjacent timing is genuinely scarce. In Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy it's outclassed by faster options like Three Visits, Nature's Lore, and Farseek that hit nonbasics and cost two mana — Grow from the Ashes doesn't make the cut there. Standard and Oathbreaker legality is largely academic; run it if the card pool demands it, otherwise better options exist in both.

$0.26 bulk tier

At $0.26, Grow from the Ashes is bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a spell that does real work in Commander. Bulk ramp pieces rarely spike, so pick up copies without hesitation and don't expect to trade them for value.
