Mana Reflection doubles every mana your permanents produce — lands, rocks, dorks, all of it — and that effect reshapes a board state the turn it resolves. The cost is six mana and a sorcery-speed enchantment that does nothing until your next untap; commanders like Omnath, Locus of Mana and Yurlok of Scorch Thrash absorb that tempo hit and immediately weaponize the surplus.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Omnath, Locus of Mana
Omnath, Locus of Mana stores unspent green mana as power, so Mana Reflection doesn't just accelerate your gameplan — it doubles every point of that stored power simultaneously, turning a large Omnath into an enormous one before combat math even starts.
Omo, Queen of Vesuva
Omo, Queen of Vesuva's counters-matter engine rewards dumping as much mana as possible into activated abilities each turn, and Mana Reflection ensures every land and rock contributes twice to that output.
Yurlok of Scorch Thrash
Yurlok of Scorch Thrash burns opponents whenever they're forced to lose mana, and Mana Reflection doubles the mana Yurlok generates for the table — meaning every trigger deals twice the damage.
Kruphix, God of Horizons
Kruphix, God of Horizons converts unused mana into a colorless reservoir at end of turn, and Mana Reflection doubles what flows into that reservoir every single turn cycle, letting the payoff spells get exponentially larger.
Svella, Ice Shaper
Svella, Ice Shaper's activated ability costs three mana per use, and Mana Reflection lets that same mana pool fire the ability multiple times in a turn, compounding the top-of-library value Svella is built to exploit.

Mana Reflection is a Commander card in practice — six mana is acceptable in a 40-life multiplayer format where games go long and the doubled output over several turns dwarfs the initial investment. In Legacy and Vintage, it's technically legal but never played; those formats end before a six-mana enchantment with no immediate board impact becomes relevant. Oathbreaker shares enough of Commander's pacing that Mana Reflection is theoretically playable there, though the lower starting life total keeps the format faster than ideal. Standard and Pioneer don't have access to it, and Pauper's rarity restriction rules it out entirely.

Current price
$1.16 cheap tier
At $1.16, Mana Reflection is firmly in the cheap tier for an effect this powerful — it sees roughly 58% inclusion across Omnath, Locus of Mana decks alone, which is the kind of demand that would push most staples several dollars higher. The low price reflects a reprint history that has kept supply healthy; it's a safe pick-up with little downside at this price point.
