Konda, Lord of Eiganjo hits the board as a 3/3 indestructible, vigilance legend for eight mana — the indestructible clause is real, but eight mana is a steep ask in a format where threats cost two and three. Raiyuu, Storm's Edge is the one shell that makes Konda pay off, triggering extra combat steps off a single attacking legendary creature.

Raiyuu, Storm's Edge
Raiyuu, Storm's Edge turns Konda, Lord of Eiganjo's vigilance into a machine — Konda attacks alone, triggers Raiyuu's extra combat, and untaps ready to block because vigilance never took it tapped in the first place.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Konda, Lord of Eiganjo is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially zero play outside Commander. In Commander it finds a narrow but functional home in Boros legendary-creature strategies, primarily under Raiyuu, Storm's Edge, where the solo-attacker clause and indestructibility align directly with the deck's game plan. In Legacy and Modern the eight mana cost is disqualifying — those formats end games before Konda ever resolves, and indestructible doesn't compensate for being a 3/3. Oathbreaker is theoretically legal but the same cost problem applies.

Budget Alternatives
Cheaper options that do most of the same work
Danitha Capashen, Paragon and Odric, Lunarch Marshal both clock in well under a dollar and offer meaningful keyword density for white creature strategies — neither is indestructible, but they come down four to six turns earlier. If indestructibility specifically is the draw, Avacyn, Angel of Hope does more for the whole board at a similar price point, though she costs more mana; if you just want a resilient vigilance attacker, Konda, Lord of Eiganjo remains the cheapest indestructible option in that role.
Price Context
Current price
$6.12 mid tier
At $6.12, Konda, Lord of Eiganjo sits in the mid tier — notable for a card with such narrow play patterns. Its price is held up almost entirely by casual Commander demand in Raiyuu builds rather than competitive interest, so the price is stable but unlikely to climb.
