Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar enters as one of the largest creatures on the board for six mana in any land-heavy green shell — its power and toughness scale with lands in play and in your graveyard, it has trample and reach, and it returns itself to hand from the graveyard by pitching two lands, making it nearly impossible to permanently answer. The cost is real: six mana is a lot to ask before Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar does anything, and without a dedicated land-matters engine like Zimone, Mystery Unraveler or Jadzi, Oracle of Arcavios // Journey to the Oracle feeding the land count, it's just a big beater that dies to exile.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Zimone, Mystery Unraveler
Zimone, Mystery Unraveler draws and plays extra lands aggressively enough that Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar arrives as an enormous threat early, and Zimone's ability to bounce permanents pairs with Multani's self-recursion to keep the avatar in play or in hand whenever removal hits.
Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor
Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor cares about land drops and turns lands into creatures — both halves of that engine make Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar larger and more threatening, and Obuun's additional land-drop support means the graveyard count climbs fast.
Yedora, Grave Gardener
Yedora, Grave Gardener converts creature deaths into Forest tokens, which directly inflates the land count that powers Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar's size — and since Multani recurs itself by pitching lands, those Forest tokens become free fodder for the loop.
The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride
The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride rewards you for putting lands into the graveyard, which is exactly where Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar wants them — every land you discard to recur Multani triggers Gitrog's draw engine and pushes the avatar's power even higher.
Omnath, Locus of the Roil
Omnath, Locus of the Roil punishes opponents for every land that enters the battlefield, and Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar's size scales directly with how many lands you've accumulated in play and in the yard — the two cards share the same axis and reward the same game plan.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar belongs — the 40-life format gives it time to reach six mana, and land-matters strategies in green are deep enough to make the avatar a consistent late-game threat rather than a one-off fatty. In Modern and Legacy, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar is legal but largely irrelevant: six mana is a prohibitive ask in formats where the game can end on turn three or four, and the lack of immediate impact on the board means faster threats simply do the job better. Pioneer sits in the same camp — legal, fringe at best, and unlikely to displace efficient threats that close games earlier. Oathbreaker can support it in a land-heavy green build, though the tighter game length makes the six-mana entry point a steeper risk than in Commander.

Current price
$0.27 bulk tier
At $0.27, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar is bulk — this is a card you pick out of a dollar bin or grab as a throw-in, not something you track down. The price reflects broad availability rather than low power; it's simply a card that sees enough Commander play to stay in print without ever spiking.
