Myojin of Roaring Blades card art
Myojin of Roaring Blades enters with an indestructibility counter and, once that counter is removed, deals damage equal to its power to each other creature and each opponent — a board wipe stapled to a burn spell on an 8/4 body. Eight mana is a real ask, but Tannuk, Steadfast Second can blink it back into play repeatedly, and Myojin of Grim Betrayal pairs in the same shell to chain board resets into reanimation.

Tannuk, Steadfast Second

59.3% of decks · synergy 0.57

Tannuk, Steadfast Second blinks Myojin of Roaring Blades back to hand or the battlefield repeatedly, resetting the indestructibility counter each time and turning what's normally a one-shot board punishment into a recurring engine that fires every time Tannuk protects himself.

Alena, Kessig Trapper // Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood

44.2% of decks · synergy 0.44

Alena, Kessig Trapper // Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood generates the mana burst needed to cast Myojin of Roaring Blades from hand legitimately, and Gilanra's cantrip on casting large spells means dropping the Myojin replaces itself before the counter ever comes off.

pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is the natural home for Myojin of Roaring Blades — the format's slower pace lets you reach eight mana, and the three-player math means the triggered damage hits all opponents simultaneously for meaningful totals. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but competes with faster, cheaper threats and will never see competitive play there. Oathbreaker is the only other format where it fits thematically, slotting into red Planeswalker shells that can generate the mana to cast it and have a signature spell to protect the turn it enters.

Price Context

Current price

$0.36 bulk tier

At $0.36, Myojin of Roaring Blades sits firmly in bulk territory, which reflects its narrow Commander role rather than any weakness in effect. The price is stable — it won't spike unless a new blink commander pushes it into wider adoption, so picking up copies now costs almost nothing.
