Power Depot card art
Power Depot enters tapped but produces any color of mana and puts a charge counter on target artifact you control — in artifact-heavy builds, that incidental counter generation is the entire reason to run it over a basic. Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp decks include it at a 72% rate for good reason; the comparison point isn't a worse land, it's a free Bootleggers' Stash trigger stapled to your mana base.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp

Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp

72.1% of decks · synergy 0.69

Power Depot is a near-auto-include in Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp because every land drop distributes a free charge counter, which Zabaz converts into a permanent +1/+1 counter on itself — the deck wants to proliferate those counters anyway, so the land is doing double duty without spending a card slot.

02
Rendmaw, Creaking Nest

Rendmaw, Creaking Nest

54.2% of decks · synergy 0.52

Rendmaw, Creaking Nest cares about artifacts getting counters placed on them, and Power Depot triggers that condition every single turn for free just by tapping for mana.

03
Alibou, Ancient Witness

Alibou, Ancient Witness

46.0% of decks · synergy 0.43

Alibou, Ancient Witness rewards tapping artifacts, and Power Depot feeds that engine while also keeping artifact-matters synergies online — it's colorless-flexible mana that pulls double weight in a deck that wants as many artifact interactions as possible.

04

Tetzin, Gnome Champion

36.7% of decks · synergy 0.35

Tetzin, Gnome Champion's artifact synergies benefit from having lands that interact with the artifact type, and Power Depot's charge counter distribution slots cleanly into a deck already looking for incremental artifact value on every turn.

05
Imskir Iron-Eater

Imskir Iron-Eater

30.2% of decks · synergy 0.29

Imskir Iron-Eater sacrifices artifacts for value, and Power Depot provides a low-opportunity-cost artifact permanent that can be sacrificed in a pinch while also generating mana the turn it enters.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

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

Commander is where Power Depot earns its slot — artifact synergy commanders run it as a mana fixer that doubles as an engine piece, and the enters-tapped penalty is trivial when the counter is doing real work. In Legacy and Vintage, the floor drops sharply: those formats are too fast for a tapped land that generates incremental value over several turns, and far better mana options exist. Modern is theoretically legal but faces the same problem — artifact combo decks there demand untapped mana, so Power Depot sits on the sidelines. Pioneer, Standard, and Pauper are off the table entirely. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander verdict for the same reasons.

Pricing data for Power Depot isn't currently available through our sources, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for a live number before buying. Given its 70%+ inclusion rate in Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp decks and strong numbers across several other artifact commanders, demand is real — don't expect bulk pricing if it's seeing that kind of play.
