Mutavault card art
Mutavault is a land that becomes a 2/2 creature with every creature type — which means it quietly satisfies tribal synergies, triggers payoffs like Deeproot Pilgrimage, and counts toward party for commanders like Nalia de'Arnise while still producing mana the turns you don't activate it. The cost is real: it only taps for colorless, which punishes greedy mana bases, and the activation drains one mana you'd otherwise spend on your actual game plan.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Nalia de'Arnise

Nalia de'Arnise

68.6% of decks · synergy 0.67

Nalia de'Arnise cares about Rogues, and Mutavault counts as one every time it animates — it triggers her card filtering and contributes a body to her dungeon-diving engine without taking up a creature slot. At nearly 69% inclusion across Nalia builds, it's practically a staple.

02
Burakos, Party LeaderFolk Hero

Burakos, Party Leader // Folk Hero

66.4% of decks · synergy 0.65

Burakos, Party Leader // Folk Hero rewards stacking as many creature types as possible to fill out the party, and Mutavault covers whichever slot is missing by being all of them simultaneously. That flexibility is exactly why it shows up in two-thirds of Burakos lists.

03
Magda, Brazen Outlaw

Magda, Brazen Outlaw

44.1% of decks · synergy 0.41

Magda, Brazen Outlaw generates Treasure whenever a Dwarf she controls becomes tapped — Mutavault is a Dwarf the moment it animates, so attacking with it triggers Magda's engine. It's the cleanest colorless land that pulls double duty as a free Dwarf in the 44% of Magda lists that run it.

04
The Destined Warrior

The Destined Warrior

39.4% of decks · synergy 0.39

The Destined Warrior leans on creature-type synergies and tribal headcount, and Mutavault checks every box simultaneously — it's a Warrior, a Rogue, a Cleric, whatever the deck needs it to be. That universal typing is why it slots into roughly 39% of The Destined Warrior builds.

05
Black Panther, Wakandan King

Black Panther, Wakandan King

21.3% of decks · synergy 0.20

Black Panther, Wakandan King rewards having creatures of all types on board, and Mutavault provides a disposable, recurrable body that counts as any type needed. Even at 21% inclusion it earns its slot purely on the flexibility that colorless activation cost demands.

In Commander, Mutavault earns its slot in any tribal deck regardless of color identity — the colorless pip is the price of admission for an indestructible-adjacent land that doubles as a relevant creature type on demand. In Modern and Legacy, Mutavault has a long history in aggressive tribal shells — Merfolk especially — where the ability to hold up interaction while still presenting a threat on an empty board is worth the colorless mana constraint. Pioneer narrows the tribal options but the same logic applies: if your deck has enough basic-type payoffs, Mutavault pays for itself. It's not legal in Standard or Pauper, so those conversations are moot.
