Look at the top two cards of target opponent's library and exile those cards face down. You may play those cards for as long as they remain exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast them. Create a Treasure token.

Petty Larceny puts a Treasure on the battlefield and draws a card for two mana — that's two discrete effects that would each be fine at this cost individually. It's not a staple, but Ezio Auditore da Firenze runs it as a clean way to convert a Treasure trigger into an extra card while still feeding the artifact count.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Ezio Auditore da Firenze's ability rewards attacking with exactly one creature, and Petty Larceny slots in as cheap card advantage that also produces a Treasure to float mana or sacrifice for artifact synergies — two resources for two mana is exactly the kind of efficiency Ezio decks want to chain together.
Gonti, Night Minister
Gonti, Night Minister cares about spending opponents' resources and accumulating value through theft effects, making Petty Larceny a natural fit — the Treasure it generates can immediately fund another spell while the card draw keeps the engine moving.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Petty Larceny is a Commander card through and through — the three-opponent math makes one Treasure plus one card a genuinely useful transaction, where the same effect in a one-on-one format feels underpowered against a single opponent. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but invisible; cantrips and mana acceleration exist at a level that makes a two-mana sorcery with no immediate board impact a non-starter. Oathbreaker is the one other format where Petty Larceny could show up, since the smaller deck size and faster game pace make cheap draw-plus-ramp hybrids more attractive.
