Omega, Heartless Evolution
Legendary Artifact Creature — Robot
Wave Cannon — When Omega enters, for each opponent, tap up to one target nonland permanent that opponent controls. Put X stun counters on each of those permanents and you gain X life, where X is the number of nonbasic lands you control. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)

Omega, Heartless Evolution drops a Machine token into play and immediately Proliferates every counter on the board — that's two effects stapled together for a single card slot. Aloy, Savior of Meridian decks are the primary destination, and at common-level construction cost there's almost no reason to leave it out.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Aloy, Savior of Meridian
Aloy, Savior of Meridian's whole game is accumulating Machine tokens and stacking counters, and Omega, Heartless Evolution delivers both on the same card — the Proliferate trigger alone can snowball Aloy's board faster than most dedicated counter spells.
The Wandering Minstrel
The Wandering Minstrel cares about tokens and incremental value generation, and Omega, Heartless Evolution slots in as a self-contained tempo play — a body that arrives with a board-wide Proliferate makes every counter-bearing permanent hit harder on the same turn.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Omega, Heartless Evolution is legal everywhere except Pauper, but Commander is where it actually gets played — Proliferate is at its best in a 100-card singleton format where one effect touches every counter on every permanent across four players. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, a three-mana sorcery that makes a single token and Proliferates is too slow to compete with dedicated counter-stacking shells that already run Nissa and Hardened Scales synergies. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in it at any cost. Stick to Commander, where the political and board-wide scope of Proliferate turns a modestly costed card into a genuine threat multiplier.

Price Context
Current price
$0.24 bulk tier
At $0.24, Omega, Heartless Evolution sits firmly in bulk territory — you're picking this out of a dollar box or buying a playset for under a dollar. Bulk rares with genuine mechanical value in Commander tend to stabilize here rather than fall further, but don't buy this as anything other than a functional deck piece.
