Marit Lage's Slumber card art
Marit Lage's Slumber is a two-mana enchantment that snowballs into a 20/20 indestructible token the moment you hit ten snow permanents — in the right deck, that payoff arrives faster than opponents expect. Commanders like Isu the Abominable and Moritte of the Frost make that count trivial, and a two-mana setup piece that doubles as a scry engine along the way earns its slot every game.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Isu the Abominable

Isu the Abominable

95.9% of decks · synergy 0.95

Isu the Abominable is the natural home for Marit Lage's Slumber: Isu's triggered ability generates Snow creature tokens each upkeep, stacking the snow permanent count without any extra effort, so the Slumber's threshold of ten is often reached within three or four turns of landing both pieces.

02

Jorn, God of Winter

84.8% of decks · synergy 0.83

Jorn, God of Winter's untap trigger rewards running a dense snow land base, and that same base is exactly what Marit Lage's Slumber needs to tick toward ten — every snow land Jorn untaps is one more permanent pushing the count, making the token a realistic mid-game threat rather than a late-game pipe dream.

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

Marit Lage's Slumber is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, and Commander is where it actually shows up — the 100-card singleton format gives you room to build around a dedicated snow permanent theme without sacrificing consistency in other areas. In Legacy and Vintage it's a curiosity at best; those formats have no interest in a two-mana enchantment that takes several turns to convert into a single token when faster, more reliable threats exist. Modern is the one constructed format where a snow-matters shell is at least plausible, but the Slumber competes with more explosive payoffs and rarely makes the cut. Stick to Commander, specifically to commanders that actively generate snow permanents, and it performs exactly as advertised.

Price Context

Current price

$0.61 bulk tier

At $0.61, Marit Lage's Slumber is bulk — you're picking this up as a throw-in, not hunting it down. For a card with a narrow but genuine niche in snow Commander builds, that price is unlikely to climb unless a new pushed snow commander drives demand.
