Jetmir, Nexus of Revels card art
Jetmir, Nexus of Revels turns any wide board into a lethal one — nine creatures grants trample, vigilance, and +3/+3 across the team, and token decks hit that threshold routinely. At five mana he's not cheap, but commanders like Najeela, the Blade-Blossom and Rin and Seri, Inseparable that already flood the board treat him as a game-ending anthem that doubles as the command zone.

77.5% of decks · synergy 0.65

Rin and Seri, Inseparable generates a Cat and a Dog on every cat or dog spell, so the board fills fast and the creature count needed to unlock Jetmir, Nexus of Revels' highest threshold is routine rather than exceptional.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander
legacy
modern
pioneer
standard
vintage
pauper
oathbreaker

Commander is where Jetmir, Nexus of Revels belongs — the format's slower clock and multiplayer board states mean a wide token deck can reliably hit nine creatures, and the pump plus keyword package ends games in a single combat step. In competitive-leaning pods he's a finisher in the 99, not a commander, because five mana is too slow for a go-wide payoff that doesn't generate its own board presence. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer he's technically legal but functionally irrelevant — those formats punish five-mana do-nothings that require an existing board, and better go-wide finishers exist at lower costs. Oathbreaker is a reasonable fit if the signature spell tutors tokens efficiently, but Commander remains the format that rewards what Jetmir, Nexus of Revels actually does.

Key Combos

Combo lines featuring this card

Budget Alternatives

Cheaper options that do most of the same work

Craterhoof Behemoth does the same job at a higher ceiling but costs several times more; for a budget replacement, Pathbreaker Ibex grants trample and a power-scaled buff for four mana and under a dollar, losing the vigilance clause but closing games almost as fast. If the vigilance matters, Finale of Glory or a static anthem like Collective Blessing won't replicate Jetmir, Nexus of Revels' all-in-one burst, but they spread the effect across fewer conditional moving parts.

Price Context

Current price

$10.75 mid tier
