Myr Welder card art
Myr Welder turns any graveyard into a toolbox — imprint the right artifact and it becomes a Staff of Domination, a combo piece, or whatever the board demands. The cost is three mana for a 1/4 with no immediate impact, so it lives or dies by how quickly your graveyard fills up. In Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch decks, that cost is almost always worth paying.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch

Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch

61.8% of decks · synergy 0.60

Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch runs Myr Welder in 62% of decks because the Myr tribal engine constantly stocks the graveyard with combo-relevant artifacts, and Welder can snap up whatever got removed and restart the line. It's the single highest-synergy home for the card.

02
Oswald Fiddlebender

Oswald Fiddlebender

33.4% of decks · synergy 0.33

Oswald Fiddlebender can sacrifice Myr Welder to tutor up a higher-value artifact, but more often the deck uses it in reverse — filling the graveyard through sacrifice loops and letting Welder reclaim the payoffs. The 33% inclusion rate reflects a real role, not just filler.

Commander is where Myr Welder actually earns its keep — graveyards fill fast, artifact-heavy decks are everywhere, and a single imprint can lock in a game-winning activated ability for the rest of the game. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but strictly outclassed: those formats have faster, more resilient ways to recur or abuse artifacts, and a 1/4 for three that does nothing on entry doesn't make the cut. Modern is the same story — the card is legal but sees no play. Myr Welder is a Commander card through and through.

Price Context

Current price

$2.01 cheap tier

At $2.01, Myr Welder sits in the cheap tier — low enough that there's no reason to cut it for budget reasons in any deck that wants it. Demand is narrow but steady, anchored almost entirely by Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch players, so the price is unlikely to move much in either direction.
