Puppet Conjurer card art
Puppet Conjurer turns any blue mana activation into a 1/1 Homunculus token — and paired with Intruder Alarm, that loop goes infinite as long as you have the mana to feed it. The cost is a fragile two-card combo that folds to any instant-speed removal on Puppet Conjurer before the loop closes.

Puppet Conjurer is essentially a Commander card — the combo payoffs it enables require a 100-card singleton environment where dedicated support packages around Intruder Alarm and sacrifice outlets are viable. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but never sees play; the power bar is too high for a three-mana do-nothing-alone creature to compete. Commander is where Puppet Conjurer earns its slot, specifically in artifact-token and blue combo shells that can protect the piece long enough to assemble the loop.

Price Context

Current price

$0.09 bulk tier

At $0.09, Puppet Conjurer is deep bulk — grab a copy out of any dollar box or throw it in a cart to hit free shipping. Bulk combo pieces like this rarely spike unless a new commander pushes the archetype into mainstream popularity, so don't expect the price to move.
