Muldrotha, the Gravetide card art
Muldrotha, the Gravetide turns your graveyard into a second hand, letting you replay one permanent of each type per turn — the engine runs itself as long as Muldrotha stays on the battlefield. A cheap reanimation shell like Kaya's Ghostform keeps her alive through removal and locks in continuous value that decks like Ashling, the Limitless exploit to rebuild their board every single turn cycle.

Commanders with the highest synergy

Ashling, the Limitless

Ashling, the Limitless

73.5% of decks · synergy 0.69

Ashling, the Limitless mills aggressively and wants to recover key permanents after a board wipe, making Muldrotha, the Gravetide the natural engine that turns every Ashling trigger into graveyard recursion fuel.

02
Teval, the Balanced Scale

Teval, the Balanced Scale

61.6% of decks · synergy 0.40

Teval, the Balanced Scale cares about the top of the library and the graveyard in equal measure, so Muldrotha, the Gravetide slots in as the permanent-recursion backbone that closes loops Teval keeps opening.

03
The Wise Mothman

The Wise Mothman

45.1% of decks · synergy 0.23

The Wise Mothman proliferates counters and wants a steady stream of cheap permanents hitting the board; Muldrotha, the Gravetide supplies that stream from the graveyard so The Wise Mothman never runs dry on proliferate targets.

04
Sidisi, Brood Tyrant

Sidisi, Brood Tyrant

42.8% of decks · synergy 0.21

Sidisi, Brood Tyrant fills the graveyard faster than almost any commander in Sultai, and Muldrotha, the Gravetide converts that milled stack into a repeatable card-advantage engine that extends well past the mid-game.

05
Mimeoplasm, Revered One

Mimeoplasm, Revered One

43.0% of decks · synergy 0.21

Mimeoplasm, Revered One already wants large creatures in the graveyard, and Muldrotha, the Gravetide ensures that every non-creature permanent — enchantments, artifacts, lands — comes back alongside whatever Mimeoplasm is copying.

Commander is where Muldrotha, the Gravetide is most at home: a 100-card singleton format rewards the type-diversity her ability demands, and a six-mana legend with no immediate board impact needs the longer game length to fully pay off. In Legacy, Pioneer, and Modern, six mana is simply too expensive for any competitive shell — she's legal but irrelevant against faster clocks. Standard is technically an option, but her power is graveyard-density-dependent and she's competing with more efficient threats in a smaller card pool. Oathbreaker works but the compressed game speed blunts her advantage engine; this is a card built for the 40-life, multiplayer long game.

Price Context

Current price

$3.10 cheap tier

At $3.10, Muldrotha, the Gravetide is firmly in the budget-mythic tier — high demand from Commander players keeps reprints from collapsing the price to bulk, but multiple printings have already pushed her well below her original peak. It's a safe pickup: you're paying for a proven engine, not speculating on future value.
