Sanctum of All
Legendary Enchantment — Shrine
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may search your library and/or graveyard for a Shrine card and put it onto the battlefield. If you search your library this way, shuffle.
If a triggered ability of another Shrine you control triggers while you control six or more Shrines, that ability triggers an additional time.

Sanctum of All tutors any Shrine from your library onto the battlefield at the start of your upkeep — and that trigger fires for free once you control six or more Shrines. The ask is five colors and a critical mass of Shrines, but under Go-Shintai of Life's Origin that ask is trivially met, and the payoff is a self-assembling engine that wins the game without further investment.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Go-Shintai of Life's Origin
Go-Shintai of Life's Origin is the Shrine commander, so Sanctum of All is essentially an auto-include — Go-Shintai generates Shrine tokens every upkeep, which accelerates you to the six-Shrine threshold that makes Sanctum's tutor free, collapsing the setup time from several turns to almost none.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Sanctum of All is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees virtually no play outside Commander — five-color enchantments that care about a narrow tribal subtype just don't fit competitive non-rotating formats. In Commander it's the backbone of any Shrine deck, functioning as both a tutor and a win-condition accelerant in a shell that Go-Shintai of Life's Origin makes viable. Outside of a dedicated Shrine build, it's unplayable; inside one, it's the most important non-commander card in the deck.

Price Context
Current price
$2.75 cheap tier
At $2.75, Sanctum of All sits in budget territory for a card with exactly one home — it's cheap because the Shrine archetype is narrow, not because the card underperforms. It's worth picking up immediately if you're building Go-Shintai of Life's Origin; there's no functional substitute for what it does.
