Majestic Auricorn enters as a 4/4 with lifelink and mutate, and its power-zero body makes it an automatic inclusion in Nethroi, Apex of Death reanimation piles. The cost is a five-mana mutate price tag that only matters once — after that, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker copies put it to work for free.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Nethroi, Apex of Death
Majestic Auricorn's power-zero stat line is the whole reason Nethroi, Apex of Death wants it — it fills the graveyard quota for mass reanimation while the lifelink body makes every attack relevant after it comes back.
Thurid, Mare of Destiny
Thurid, Mare of Destiny cares about creatures with multiple keywords, and Majestic Auricorn arrives with lifelink baked in plus whatever it gains through mutation, giving Thurid a reliable multi-keyword body to build around.

Majestic Auricorn is a Commander card — full stop. In 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer it's legal but never played, because a five-mana 4/4 with lifelink and mutate competes against far more efficient threats. Commander is where the mutate mechanic actually has room to breathe, and Majestic Auricorn slots cleanly into graveyard and mutation-focused strategies where its zero power and keyword suite pull real weight.

Current price
$0.27 bulk tier
At $0.27, Majestic Auricorn is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or bulk-bin grab. Demand is narrow enough that the price isn't going anywhere, so buy it for the deck slot, not the binder.
