Omnath, Locus of Rage card art
Omnath, Locus of Rage turns every land drop into a 5/5 and every removal spell aimed at those elementals into a Lightning Bolt — at seven mana, the board impact is immediate and punishing. The cost is the cmc: it arrives a full turn or two after Omnath, Locus of the Roil or Kodama of the East Tree can start generating value, so it lives and dies by whether you can protect it long enough to untap.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Omnath, Locus of the Roil

Omnath, Locus of the Roil

83.4% of decks · synergy 0.78

Omnath, Locus of the Roil is the premier landfall commander for Temur, and Omnath, Locus of Rage is its natural top-end — the Roil pings and draws while early elementals accumulate, then Rage converts every subsequent land into a 5/5 that threatens three damage on death.

02
Ashling, the Limitless

Ashling, the Limitless

81.0% of decks · synergy 0.76

Ashling, the Limitless cares about creatures entering with the most power-types, and the 5/5 elementals Omnath, Locus of Rage generates are exactly the kind of oversized, repeatable threats Ashling wants to copy or reward — the two cards form a high-pressure midrange engine together.

03
Yuma, Proud Protector

Yuma, Proud Protector

73.7% of decks · synergy 0.68

Yuma, Proud Protector mills lands into the graveyard and then recurs them, which means each recurred land-drop triggers Omnath, Locus of Rage a second time — the loop turns Yuma's graveyard synergy into a token factory that also doubles as a removal deterrent.

04
Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor

Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor

69.7% of decks · synergy 0.64

Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor animates lands and puts extra land drops on the stack, and every one of those drops gives Omnath, Locus of Rage another 5/5 — the two commanders compete for the same trigger but stack cleanly when Obuun is accelerating the land count.

05
Hearthhull, the Worldseed

Hearthhull, the Worldseed

66.8% of decks · synergy 0.55

Hearthhull, the Worldseed generates land tokens and ramp at scale, which feeds directly into Omnath, Locus of Rage's landfall trigger and keeps the 5/5 production engine running even through board wipes.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

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

Commander is where Omnath, Locus of Rage is built to live — seven mana is sustainable over a long game, the death triggers punish the removal-heavy environment, and the 5/5 tokens scale with multiplayer boards. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's technically legal but effectively unplayed: the format speeds and the need for coherent two-card threat density leave a seven-drop with no immediate win condition dead on arrival. Vintage has the same problem compounded by turn-one combo decks. Oathbreaker is a narrow exception where Omnath, Locus of Rage can serve as the signature spell rather than the commander, pairing with a green or red planeswalker that accelerates into it — but that's a fringe build.

Price Context

Current price

$3.15 cheap tier

At $3.15, Omnath, Locus of Rage sits firmly in the budget-staple tier — you're paying almost nothing for a card that headlined $40 price tags at peak demand. It holds that floor well because demand across landfall Commander decks is broad and steady, but don't expect it to climb; wide reprinting has permanently capped the ceiling.
