Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization card art
Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization triples every token you create — not doubles, triples — which turns any incidental token production into a board that ends games on the spot. The cost is six mana and a body that needs protection, but pair it with Ashnod's Altar or stack it alongside Mondrak, Glory Dominus and the math gets obscene fast.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Mondrak, Glory Dominus

Mondrak, Glory Dominus

54.8% of decks · synergy 0.47

Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization stack multiplicatively — doubling and tripling on the same token trigger means a single creature token becomes six, and any anthem or sacrifice outlet converts that into a lethal swing or infinite loop within the same turn cycle.

02
Mog, Moogle Warrior

Mog, Moogle Warrior

36.2% of decks · synergy 0.31

Mog, Moogle Warrior generates tokens on combat triggers, and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization turns each of those triggers into a three-for-one, letting Mog's incremental board presence scale to a lethal army in just a few swings.

03
Myrel, Shield of Argive

Myrel, Shield of Argive

35.3% of decks · synergy 0.28

Myrel, Shield of Argive produces Soldiers on attack and locks down opponents during your turn, so Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization converts every swing into a tripled Soldier flood that is nearly impossible to answer through the lockout.

04
Rhys the Redeemed

Rhys the Redeemed

33.8% of decks · synergy 0.28

Rhys the Redeemed's second activated ability copies all tokens you control, and with Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization already tripling each creation event, that doubling activation goes from good to game-ending.

05
Ratadrabik of Urborg

Ratadrabik of Urborg

30.6% of decks · synergy 0.27

Ratadrabik of Urborg creates token copies of legendary creatures when they die, and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization triples those death-triggered tokens, turning every board wipe into a rebuild that leaves you with more creatures than you started with.

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

Commander is the natural home for Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization — 100-card singleton rewards high-ceiling permanents, and a six-mana tripler that flips into a land when it dies is exactly the kind of build-around that token strategies want at the top of their curve. In competitive Commander pods it's too slow without a dedicated protection suite, but in the mid-power range it closes games by itself. In non-rotating constructed formats like Modern and Legacy it's too expensive for the pace of those games and sees virtually no play. Pioneer and Standard are legally viable but token strategies there tend to top out at four or five mana, making Ojer Taq a situational finisher at best rather than a staple. Oathbreaker can support it in the right shell, though the format's lower life totals and faster clocks make the six-mana ask harder to justify.

Budget Alternatives

Cheaper options that do most of the same work

Anointed Procession at roughly $12 does the most comparable work — doubling instead of tripling, but at four mana it comes down two full turns earlier and demands an answer before Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization would even hit the battlefield. Parallel Lives offers the same doubling effect for around $20 and is the closer functional substitute, though neither card converts to a land when removed, which is a real resiliency gap compared to Ojer Taq.

Price Context

Current price

$32.29 premium tier

At $32.29, Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization sits firmly in the premium tier — justified by the fact that it does something no other single card does at any price point, tripling tokens rather than doubling them. Demand from Commander token strategies keeps a price floor under it, so it's unlikely to crater, though any reprint in a precon or Masters set would move that number quickly.
