Horn of Valhalla // Ysgard's Call floods the board with Warriors the turn it resolves, then flips into a pump spell that can end games on the spot. The three-mana front face is the draw — Gorion, Wise Mentor decks run it because the Adventure half means Gorion can cast it for free off his trigger, generating an army before the instant even hits the graveyard.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Gorion, Wise Mentor
Gorion, Wise Mentor casts Horn of Valhalla // Ysgard's Call for free off his ability, meaning the token burst costs zero mana and the sorcery half is still waiting in exile to be cast later. That two-for-one on a single trigger is why this card sits at 75% inclusion in Gorion lists.
Commander Mustard
Commander Mustard rewards fielding a wide Warrior board, and Horn of Valhalla // Ysgard's Call does exactly that on the cheap — three mana for a wave of bodies that immediately benefit from Mustard's attack bonuses.
Myrel, Shield of Argive
Myrel, Shield of Argive's tap-down ability scales with Soldier count, so the Warrior tokens from Horn of Valhalla // Ysgard's Call add to that number and then turn sideways while opponents sit frozen on your turn.
Cadira, Caller of the Small
Cadira, Caller of the Small multiplies any token entering the battlefield, so the Warrior flood from Horn of Valhalla // Ysgard's Call immediately triggers a second wave of Rabbits — one card becomes an overwhelming board presence.
Commissar Severina Raine
Commissar Severina Raine drains opponents for each creature that dies, and Horn of Valhalla // Ysgard's Call supplies a fresh batch of fodder for sacrifice or combat — tokens that drain out the table if anyone tries to wipe the board.

Commander is the natural home for Horn of Valhalla // Ysgard's Call — the token count scales with how wide your board already is, which rewards the creature-dense go-wide strategies common in the format. The Adventure structure is particularly valuable here because commanders like Gorion, Wise Mentor interact with Adventures in ways that generate free value. In Legacy and Vintage, where the card is technically legal, it competes against faster, more efficient token engines and rarely sees play outside of casual builds. Oathbreaker is a reasonable home if your planeswalker supports a token strategy, but the three-mana front face is slower than what most competitive Oathbreaker shells want.
