Puca's Covenant
Enchantment
Whenever a creature you control with a counter on it dies, you may return another target permanent card with mana value less than or equal to the number of counters on that creature from your graveyard to your hand. Do this only once each turn.

Puca's Covenant turns every token your opponents make into a free copy for you — a massive board-state swing that compounds each turn it sits in play. The catch is that it costs three mana and does nothing the turn it enters, so it demands a deck built to exploit the trigger immediately, and Auntie Ool, Cursewretch is exactly that deck.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Auntie Ool, Cursewretch
Auntie Ool, Cursewretch wins by flooding the board with tokens, and Puca's Covenant means every token an opponent generates — combat triggers, sacrifice payoffs, whatever — doubles the pressure back onto you for free.
The Reaper, King No More
The Reaper, King No More wants redundant token generators to fuel sacrifice and death triggers, and Puca's Covenant supplies them passively every time an opponent creates something — no mana investment required after the initial cast.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Puca's Covenant is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's a Commander card through and through. In Legacy and Vintage the effect is too slow and too dependent on opponents cooperating to see competitive play. Commander is where the enchantment thrives: multiplayer tables guarantee a steady stream of opponent-created tokens, the effect scales with player count, and three mana is a reasonable investment over a long game. Oathbreaker is a viable home if the signature spell can generate immediate token pressure to justify the setup.

Price Context
Current price
$0.33 bulk tier
At $0.33, Puca's Covenant is deep bulk — pick it up for pocket change and don't think twice. Bulk enchantments at this price point rarely spike unless a commander breakout pushes them into the spotlight, and the Auntie Ool adoption rate already baked that demand in.
