Is Savannah good in Commander?

Savannah in Commander — Combos, Decks & Price

Savannah enters untapped and produces both green and white with no drawback — that's the entire argument. The price tag is steep for a Reserved List dual, but Thrasios, Triton Hero // Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful and every other high-power Selesnya or four-to-five-color shell runs it without a second thought.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01

Thrasios, Triton Hero // Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful

80.5% of decks · synergy 0.68

Thrasios, Triton Hero // Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful sits at the center of cEDH Bant and four-color goodstuff piles that need every pip available on turn one, and Savannah delivers white or green without any entry tax — critical when the deck is activating Thrasios on turn two or casting a one-drop legendary the moment Yoshimaru hits.

02

Sisay, Weatherlight Captain

42.2% of decks · synergy 0.30

Sisay, Weatherlight Captain runs a dense legendary package that needs both white and green mana early and reliably, and Savannah is one of the cleanest ways to guarantee that — an untapped dual on turn one means Sisay herself can land on curve and start stacking power counters immediately.

03

Tayam, Luminous Enigma

33.8% of decks · synergy 0.22

Tayam, Luminous Enigma is a three-color Abzan engine that leans heavily on white and green mana for its early creature base, and Savannah ensures those pips show up without forcing a tapped-land tempo loss on the turns Tayam needs to establish counters.

04

Derevi, Empyrial Tactician

31.9% of decks · synergy 0.19

Derevi, Empyrial Tactician builds around untapped permanents and aggressive mana development, so Savannah's no-downside green-white production fits naturally — every land that enters tapped is a small tax on the combat-step mana tricks Derevi rewards.

05

Captain Sisay

31.5% of decks · synergy 0.19

Captain Sisay has the same demand for early white and green as her Weatherlight counterpart, and Savannah fills that role as cleanly as any land in the format — the faster she activates, the faster the toolbox assembles.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

Format	Verdict
commander	legal
legacy	legal
modern	not legal
pioneer	not legal
standard	not legal
vintage	legal
pauper	not legal
oathbreaker	legal

Savannah is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker — and banned from every other format by virtue of not being on the modern card list rather than power level. In Legacy, it anchors Maverick, Death and Taxes splashing green, and any white-green midrange shell that wants untapped dual-color production on turn one. Vintage runs it as a matter of course in any deck touching white and green. Commander is where Savannah sees its widest use by volume — four- and five-color decks on the power-level end of the spectrum snap it up because untapped duals without basic land types are still the cleanest mana fixing available. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's logic at a smaller scale.

Price Context

Current price

unknown tier

Savannah is a Reserved List card, which means reprints are off the table entirely, and prices for Dual Lands tend to reflect that permanence. Current pricing varies by edition and condition — check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for live market data, but expect to pay a significant premium over functionally similar non-Reserved options like Temple Garden or Sunpetal Grove.
