Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might // Temple of Power

Legendary Creature — God // Land

Trample
If a red source you control would deal an amount of noncombat damage less than Ojer Axonil's power to an opponent, that source deals damage equal to Ojer Axonil's power instead.
When Ojer Axonil dies, return it to the battlefield tapped and transformed under its owner's control.

Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might // Temple of Power card art
Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might // Temple of Power turns every piddling one-damage ping into a four-damage hit minimum, which means cards like Pyrohemia stop being a nuisance tax and start being a room-clearing threat. The cost is a 4/4 body at four mana with no built-in protection — Jaws, Relentless Predator aside, you're building around glass.

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer legal
standard legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might // Temple of Power does its best work — the four-player environment means multiplying small damage sources across three life totals simultaneously, and the singleton format rewards the density of ping effects that abuse the replacement ability. In competitive constructed formats like Modern and Pioneer, the card is legal but rarely played; four mana for a fragile legendary that does nothing the turn it enters is too slow against decks that end games on turn three or four. Legacy and Vintage give it no additional infrastructure that cheaper, broken cards don't already cover. Standard legality opens the door to brewers, but the effect needs a critical mass of noncombat damage sources to pay off, which limits it to dedicated shells rather than splash inclusion.

Key Combos

Combo lines featuring this card

Budget Alternatives

Cheaper options that do most of the same work

The closest budget approximation is Fiery Emancipation, which triples damage rather than replacing it with a floor — it costs more mana but hits harder in burst scenarios and doesn't die to a Doom Blade. If the goal is purely to punish opponents for taking small hits, Dictate of the Twin Gods doubles all damage from any source for around two dollars, trading Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might // Temple of Power's precision for a symmetrical effect that can backfire but also closes games faster when you have the initiative.

Price Context

Current price

$25.85 premium tier

At $25.85, Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might // Temple of Power sits firmly in premium territory — justified if your deck is built around noncombat damage, speculative if you just want a power boost. It has a narrow but dedicated player base across multiple Commander archetypes, which keeps the price stable, though it will never be a staple outside those specific shells.
