Might of the Masses scales with your board — in a token-heavy Commander deck, that's frequently +10/+10 or more for a single green mana at instant speed. Shroofus Sproutsire decks run it as a one-mana kill shot that turns a wide board into a lethal swing.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Shroofus Sproutsire
Shroofus Sproutsire generates tokens constantly, and Might of the Masses converts that density directly into a one-shot kill — one green mana to pump a trample threat by the size of your entire army.
Cadira, Caller of the Small
Cadira, Caller of the Small floods the board with Rabbits on every attack, and Might of the Masses turns that critical mass into a finisher without ever taking a turn off to set it up.

In Commander, Might of the Masses is a finisher disguised as a pump spell — token strategies can realistically cast it for +15/+15 or more, and the instant speed makes it a combat trick that ends games. In Pauper, it sees genuine play in go-wide green decks where the common restriction makes one-mana scaling effects rare and valuable. Modern and Legacy can produce the same explosive counts but have access to more efficient threats, so Might of the Masses sits on the fringes there. Pioneer offers a middle ground where token synergies are strong enough that a well-timed cast can close a game, though it competes with a deeper removal suite.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Might of the Masses is pure bulk — one of the cheapest finishers you can slot into a token deck. Bulk rares and commons at this price point don't appreciate meaningfully, but that's beside the point: you're buying it to play it, not hold it.
