Momir Vig, Simic Visionary turns every green and blue creature spell into a tutor — cast a green creature and you search your library for any creature, cast a blue creature and put it on top, stack both triggers and you're pulling Avenger of Zendikar directly into your hand every turn cycle. The cost is a fragile five-mana legendary that does nothing the turn it enters and folds to any instant-speed removal before you untap.

Commander is where Momir Vig, Simic Visionary lives — as the commander itself, it turns a Simic creature suite into a repeatable toolbox that assembles whatever engine piece the board state demands. Outside Commander, the card is technically legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Modern, but six-mana do-nothing legends with no immediate board impact don't compete in those formats; the tutor effect is powerful in theory and irrelevant in practice when faster threats and disruption exist at every turn. Oathbreaker is the one alternative 60-card-adjacent format where it could serve as a signature-spell-adjacent engine piece, though the support shell is narrower.

Current price
$1.09 cheap tier
At $1.09, Momir Vig, Simic Visionary sits in the bulk-rare tier despite being a genuine engine commander with real tournament pedigree in 1v1 Commander variants. That price reflects casual-market saturation more than power level, and it's unlikely to spike without a reprint announcement driving attention back to the card.
