It That Heralds the End reduces the cost of every colorless spell in your hand by two, which is a permanent Ulalek, Fused Atrocity-style discount stapled to a body that triggers on cast. At four mana for a creature that effectively pays for itself the moment you follow it up with anything substantial, this is an automatic inclusion in any Eldrazi shell that wants to go big.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Ulalek, Fused Atrocity
Ulalek, Fused Atrocity copies every Eldrazi cast trigger when you pay the copy cost, and It That Heralds the End's discount means you're reaching that copy threshold several turns ahead of schedule — the two cards form the spine of the deck.
Herigast, Erupting Nullkite
Herigast, Erupting Nullkite rewards you for casting expensive colorless spells quickly, and It That Heralds the End shaves two off every one of them, letting Herigast's emerge and cost-reduction synergies compound faster.
Ultima, Origin of Oblivion
Ultima, Origin of Oblivion wants as many massive colorless spells hitting the stack as possible, and It That Heralds the End makes hitting that critical mass of Eldrazi a realistic mid-game plan rather than a late-game hope.
Zhulodok, Void Gorger
Zhulodok, Void Gorger grants double cascade to spells with mana value seven or greater, and It That Heralds the End's cost reduction means more of those spells arrive on curve to trigger the cascade chain.
Kruphix, God of Horizons
Kruphix, God of Horizons banks unused mana across turns, and It That Heralds the End converts that stored mana into Eldrazi ahead of schedule — two mana saved per spell adds up fast when you're floating eight or ten at a time.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where It That Heralds the End does its best work — colorless Eldrazi strategies are a genuine archetype there, and a repeatable two-mana discount on every colorless spell is exactly the kind of engine a 100-card singleton deck needs to stay consistent. In Legacy and Vintage, the card is legal but essentially irrelevant: those formats don't support a four-mana creature that does nothing the turn it enters unless you're already deep in a dedicated Eldrazi pile, and even then faster alternatives exist. Oathbreaker can support it in the right colorless shell, though the smaller deck size makes the redundancy less impactful. Pioneer and Standard can't run it, and Pauper's rarity restrictions rule it out as well.

Price Context
Current price
$0.35 bulk tier
At $0.35, It That Heralds the End is bulk pricing for a card that carries a real strategic role in colorless Commander decks — pick up copies freely, because the price reflects supply from a heavily opened set, not the card's in-game relevance. It's unlikely to spike dramatically, but it's also the kind of quietly essential piece that disappears from binders before players realize they need it.
