Hoarding Ogre enters the battlefield and immediately rolls a die, generating Treasure tokens proportional to your result — free mana before it ever attacks. The catch is a 3/3 body for four mana that doesn't do much on its own, so it earns its slot only when commanders like Wyll, Blade of Frontiers // Sword Coast Sailor or Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second convert those Treasures into something more than acceleration.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Wyll, Blade of Frontiers // Sword Coast Sailor
Wyll, Blade of Frontiers // Sword Coast Sailor triggers on every die roll, so Hoarding Ogre's enter-the-battlefield roll immediately nets Wyll a counter and a card effect — the Treasure output is almost secondary to the repeated die-roll payoff.
Mr. House, President and CEO
Mr. House, President and CEO rewards dice rolls with Servo tokens, and Hoarding Ogre's ETB roll stacks directly onto that engine, producing both Treasures and Servos from a single trigger.
Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients
Hoarding Ogre feeds Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients with on-demand die rolls, which can trigger Vrondiss's enrage and pump out Dragon Spirit tokens alongside the Treasures.
Jolene, the Plunder Queen
Jolene, the Plunder Queen scales on Treasure production, and Hoarding Ogre reliably drops one or more Treasures on entry — exactly the kind of repeatable input that accelerates Jolene's counters.
Knuckles the Echidna
Knuckles the Echidna cares about rolling high, and Hoarding Ogre's die roll slots neatly into that gameplan while leaving behind Treasures to fuel follow-up plays.

Hoarding Ogre is a Commander card through and through — the dice-roll and Treasure synergies it enables are Commander mechanics that simply don't have enough support density in competitive 60-card formats. In Pauper it's legal but competes with more efficient common threats, and a four-mana 3/3 with a conditional payoff won't make that cut. Modern and Pioneer have access to far stronger ramp and ETB options at the same slot, so Hoarding Ogre goes unplayed there. Commander is where the overlap of Treasure payoffs, dice-roll commanders, and a forgiving curve makes it genuinely useful.

Current price
$0.31 bulk tier
At $0.31, Hoarding Ogre is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a dollar box. Bulk rares with narrow Commander synergies tend to stay flat unless a new commander dramatically spikes demand, so don't expect movement.
