Kuldotha Forgemaster card art
Kuldotha Forgemaster turns three expendable artifacts into any artifact in your library — on the board, right now, no questions asked. The five-mana body is slow to activate without support, but Clock of Omens or a Daretti, Scrap Savant shell removes that friction entirely and makes it a repeatable tutor engine.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Daretti, Scrap Savant

Daretti, Scrap Savant

41.2% of decks · synergy 0.39

Daretti, Scrap Savant is the natural home — his looting fills the graveyard with fodder while Kuldotha Forgemaster converts whatever artifacts are left in play into the exact piece the board state demands.

02
Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant

Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant

36.2% of decks · synergy 0.34

Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant cheats artifacts into play for free, which means the table fills up fast with sacrifice fuel; Kuldotha Forgemaster converts that overflow into a game-ending threat.

03
Ashnod the Uncaring

Ashnod the Uncaring

32.7% of decks · synergy 0.32

Ashnod the Uncaring doubles activated abilities, so Kuldotha Forgemaster's tap-and-sacrifice cost becomes a single activation that tutors two artifacts instead of one.

04
Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender

Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender

44.9% of decks · synergy 0.30

Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender wants a dense artifact count to trigger its own abilities, and Kuldotha Forgemaster slots in as the toolbox engine that finds the specific artifact needed to close a game.

05
Osgir, the Reconstructor

Osgir, the Reconstructor

28.6% of decks · synergy 0.28

Osgir, the Reconstructor recurs artifacts from the graveyard, which replenishes exactly the sacrifice fodder Kuldotha Forgemaster burns through — the two form a self-sustaining loop of tutor and recursion.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Kuldotha Forgemaster lives — the 100-card singleton format rewards unconditional artifact tutors more than any other, and the five-mana cost is acceptable in a format with ramp. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but sees no meaningful play; at five mana with a tap requirement, it can't compete with the speed of those formats. Oathbreaker is the only other format worth mentioning, where artifact-heavy builds can make use of it, though the 20-life clock compresses the window to activate it.

Budget Alternatives

Cheaper options that do most of the same work

Planar Bridge costs more mana to activate but puts any permanent directly into play rather than the hand, which can be stronger or weaker depending on what you're tutoring. If you want a cheaper path, Inventors' Fair is a colorless land that tutors artifacts for three mana with no sacrifice cost — it doesn't have the raw power of Kuldotha Forgemaster, but it asks almost nothing of your board state and fits any artifact deck regardless of colors.

Price Context

Current price

$10.10 mid tier

At $10.10, Kuldotha Forgemaster sits in the mid tier — meaningful money, but not a budget-breaking inclusion for an artifact deck that plans to use it every game. It's a niche card with a stable demand floor in Commander artifact builds, so the price is unlikely to move dramatically in either direction.
