Master of Etherium pumps your entire artifact army and scales its own power and toughness with every artifact you control — for three mana, that's an outsized board presence in any artifact-heavy shell. Slagstone Refinery and Aloy, Savior of Meridian decks that flood the board with cheap artifacts will often find this as the payoff that turns a wide board into a lethal one.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Aloy, Savior of Meridian
Aloy, Savior of Meridian generates a constant stream of artifact tokens, and Master of Etherium turns that flood of metal into a battlefield-wide pump that closes games before opponents can stabilize.
Urza, Chief Artificer
Urza, Chief Artificer already makes artifact creatures indestructible and produces Construct tokens, so Master of Etherium stacks on a global buff that makes every blocker and attacker hit significantly harder.
Sai, Master Thopterist
Sai, Master Thopterist builds a Thopter army every time you cast an artifact, and Master of Etherium converts that token swarm into a lethal anthem — the more spells you cast in a turn, the bigger the swing.
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci spills artifacts onto the battlefield at a pace that rewards wide-anthem effects, and Master of Etherium scales directly with that density to become a massive threat in its own right.
Golbez, Crystal Collector
Golbez, Crystal Collector accrues artifacts through its Crystal mechanic, and Master of Etherium grows alongside that accumulation while buffing the rest of the board simultaneously.

In Commander, Master of Etherium is a staple in artifact-centric decks — the combination of a self-scaling body and a global pump effect on a three-mana legendary creature is exactly what those strategies want. In Modern and Legacy, it sees fringe play in Affinity-style lists where the artifact count is high enough to make it a credible threat, though it competes for slots with more resilient threats. Vintage is theoretically legal but the power ceiling of that format leaves Master of Etherium well below the cut. It's absent from Pioneer, Standard, and Pauper, so Commander and eternal formats are its entire competitive surface area.

Current price
$0.67 bulk tier
At $0.67, Master of Etherium sits firmly in bulk territory — a genuine bargain for a card with this much board impact in artifact decks. The price reflects wide reprint availability rather than low demand, so it's unlikely to drop further and easy to pick up without a second thought.
