Klothys, God of Destiny puts a two-mana enchantment on the table that drains life and accelerates mana every turn while being nearly unkillable as an indestructible god — the cost is that her creature mode rarely turns on outside dedicated devotion builds. She's one of the most efficient pieces of sustained pressure available in Gruul, and Wildsear, Scouring Maw's graveyard-heavy gameplan means she's almost always fueled.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Wildsear, Scouring Maw
Wildsear, Scouring Maw mills cards into the graveyard at a pace that keeps Klothys, God of Destiny firing every turn, turning her passive drain into a reliable clock that compounds with Wildsear's self-milling payoffs.
Indoraptor, the Perfect Hybrid
Indoraptor, the Perfect Hybrid hunts for high-power creatures in graveyards, and Klothys, God of Destiny exiling those same cards for mana or life drain fits neatly into the loop — she generates value from the same resource Indoraptor exploits.
Yurlok of Scorch Thrash
Yurlok of Scorch Thrash floods opponents with mana they often can't spend, and Klothys, God of Destiny's incremental life drain accelerates the clock on that mana-burn strategy while adding her own devotion to Yurlok's Gruul pip count.
Esika, God of the Tree
Esika, God of the Tree tutors for gods onto the Prismatic Bridge and contributes to devotion across all colors, making Klothys, God of Destiny a natural inclusion — she contributes two green and red pips toward flipping other gods while pulling her own weight as a value engine.

In Commander, Klothys, God of Destiny is a set-and-forget engine: two mana for a permanent that passively drains opponents and ramps you off their graveyards, all on an indestructible body that ignores most removal. In Pioneer and Modern, she sees play in midrange sideboards and maindecks as grave hate that actually generates tempo rather than just blanking the opponent. Legacy and Vintage have faster clocks and stronger grave interaction, so she's a niche inclusion rather than a staple, but the indestructibility still makes her impossible to cleanly answer. Across competitive 60-card formats, her real competition is dedicated hate pieces like Rest in Peace, which shut down graveyards completely — Klothys, God of Destiny trades raw disruption for ongoing value generation, a tradeoff that favors long games.

$1.71 cheap tier
At $1.71, Klothys, God of Destiny is a budget staple — a mythic god with multi-format applications at well under $2 is straightforwardly good value. Prices at this floor can tick up with any renewed eternal-format interest, but even at current rates she's an easy include for any Gruul build that cares about graveyards.
