Osgir, the Reconstructor card art
Osgir, the Reconstructor doubles any artifact from your graveyard — for free, at instant speed during combat — and that alone makes him one of the most explosive value engines in Boros. The cost is building around him: you need enough artifacts worth copying, and cards like Ugin's Nexus become win conditions rather than silver bullets, which shapes the entire 99 toward a specific artifact-recursion shell that Alibou, Ancient Witness decks already want to inhabit.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Alibou, Ancient Witness

Alibou, Ancient Witness

32.6% of decks · synergy 0.30

Alibou, Ancient Witness is the natural home for Osgir, the Reconstructor — every tapped artifact triggers Alibou's damage ping, so doubling artifacts out of the graveyard during combat translates directly into burst damage and scrying. The two cards share a color identity and a game plan, which is why nearly a third of Alibou decks run Osgir.

02
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut

Ragost, Deft Gastronaut

20.2% of decks · synergy 0.18

Ragost, Deft Gastronaut cares about artifacts entering the battlefield, and Osgir, the Reconstructor supplies a stream of free artifact copies straight from the graveyard to fuel that trigger engine. At over 15,000 decks, Ragost is the broadest audience for Osgir outside its native Boros home.

03

Megatron, Tyrant

18.8% of decks · synergy 0.18

Megatron, Tyrant's artifact-tribal game plan makes Osgir, the Reconstructor an obvious inclusion — recursion keeps the artifact count high and gives Megatron redundancy on key pieces. Nearly one in five Megatron decks runs Osgir for exactly that recovery role.

04
Queen Kayla bin-Kroog

Queen Kayla bin-Kroog

13.7% of decks · synergy 0.12

Queen Kayla bin-Kroog pitches artifacts from hand to the graveyard as part of her activated ability, which sets up Osgir, the Reconstructor to bring them right back doubled. The two form a tight loop: Kayla fills the yard, Osgir empties it for value.

standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Osgir, the Reconstructor belongs — the ability to copy legendary artifacts like Ugin's Nexus by exiling two from your graveyard is built for long multiplayer games where recursion compounds over time. The activated ability requiring tap plus exile of two copies of a card is a deliberate slowdown that barely registers across 40-life games but would be glacial in a 1v1 format. Osgir is also legal in Legacy and Vintage, but no competitive list there has any reason to run a five-mana creature that takes a full turn to set up. Oathbreaker is the one other format worth noting — as a signature spell vehicle or supporting piece in a red-white artifacts shell, Osgir could find a niche role, though the commander-centric game plan doesn't translate as cleanly.

Pricing data isn't available for Osgir, the Reconstructor at the moment — check Scryfall or your preferred vendor for a current figure. As a mythic commander with a dedicated artifact-recursion archetype and steady EDHREC presence, expect it to sit in the range typical for format-staple legends rather than bulk mythics.
