Mirrodin Avenged kills a creature and pings each opponent for 2 on a single spell — that's three separate damage triggers for two mana. In Tor Wauki the Younger decks, each of those triggers fires Tor Wauki's own ability again, turning a cheap removal spell into a five-damage spread across the table.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Tor Wauki the Younger
Tor Wauki the Younger triggers off each instance of noncombat damage you deal, and Mirrodin Avenged produces three of them on one card — the creature kill plus two opponent pings — effectively chaining into three additional Tor Wauki pings for two mana.
Kelsien, the Plague
Kelsien, the Plague gets an experience counter whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, and Mirrodin Avenged answers a creature while also threatening the opponents who might block or interfere — it's removal and pressure on the same line.

Commander is where Mirrodin Avenged earns its slot, specifically in decks that care about noncombat damage triggers or need cheap removal that does double duty. In Pauper it's a legal and playable two-mana removal spell, though the opponent pings are largely irrelevant in a one-on-one format where 2 damage spread thin doesn't pressure anyone. Modern and Legacy have strictly better options at the same cost, so Mirrodin Avenged doesn't register there competitively. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander — trigger-based planeswalkers that care about damage events could find uses for it, but the card's ceiling is squarely in the multiplayer space.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Mirrodin Avenged is pure bulk — pick it up in any common box without thinking twice. It won't appreciate; it's a narrow role-player, not a staple, so buy it for the deck and don't expect the price to move.
