Mishra, Eminent One

Legendary Creature — Human Artificer

At the beginning of combat on your turn, create a token that's a copy of target noncreature artifact you control, except its name is Mishra's Warform and it's a 4/4 Construct artifact creature in addition to its other types. It gains haste until end of turn. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.

Mishra, Eminent One card art
Mishra, Eminent One creates a hasty artifact token copy of any artifact you control at the start of each combat, then exiles it at the cleanup step — that's free temporary doubling of your best artifact every single turn. The cost is a six-mana legendary that does nothing without other artifacts on board, but pair it with Gonti's Aether Heart or drop it under Ashnod the Uncaring and the upside scales fast enough to justify the setup.

Mishra, Eminent One is a Commander card through and through — the design assumes a long game where artifact-heavy boards are common and a six-mana legendary has time to generate value across multiple turns. In Legacy and Vintage, where it's technically legal, it's too slow and too dependent on board state to see competitive play. Commander is the only format where the repeating combat trigger meaningfully advances a game plan, and it earns its slot as either a commander or a high-synergy piece in artifact-focused builds.

Price Context

Current price

$0.54 bulk tier

At $0.54, Mishra, Eminent One is firmly bulk — a six-mana legendary with a narrow home keeps the price floor low. It's stable there; nothing in the card's design profile suggests a spike unless a new artifact combo pushes it into wider demand.
