Season of Growth card art
Season of Growth turns every Aura, Equipment, or targeting spell into a free scry-then-draw, making it one of the most efficient card-advantage engines available to green creature decks at two mana. Commanders like Arwen Undómiel that stack counters and target their own creatures repeatedly get a draw trigger almost every combat step, and The Howling Abomination runs it in nearly 87% of decks for exactly that reason.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
The Howling Abomination

The Howling Abomination

86.5% of decks · synergy 0.83

The Howling Abomination targets its own creatures constantly to spread -1/-1 counters, which means Season of Growth fires on virtually every activation and turns the commander's built-in engine into a draw engine as well.

02
Legolas, Master Archer

Legolas, Master Archer

86.4% of decks · synergy 0.82

Legolas, Master Archer taps to deal damage by targeting a creature it's attached to or by targeting creatures directly, so Season of Growth converts each of those targeting triggers into a scry and a card — the two cards together form a self-sustaining advantage loop.

03
Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief

Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief

74.3% of decks · synergy 0.71

Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief copies every single-target instant or sorcery cast at other creatures, and Season of Growth sees the original spell and hands you a draw for each cast, meaning a single cheap pump spell can net two cards while Ivy copies it for free.

04
Galadriel of Lothlórien

Galadriel of Lothlórien

67.3% of decks · synergy 0.64

Galadriel of Lothlórien incentivizes running a dense suite of Auras and counters-matter spells, and Season of Growth converts that targeting-heavy game plan into consistent card velocity across a long midrange game.

05
Otrimi, the Ever-Playful

Otrimi, the Ever-Playful

56.6% of decks · synergy 0.54

Otrimi, the Ever-Playful attacks to put Mutate cards back from the graveyard and rewards stacking abilities on a single creature, and Season of Growth catches every Mutate cast — each of which targets a creature — to keep the hand full as the pile grows.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

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

Season of Growth is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but Commander is where it actually sees play. In competitive sixty-card formats the card is too slow and too conditional — it does nothing without a creature already in play and a targeting spell incoming, and faster formats don't give you the time to profit from incremental scry-draw. Commander is the sweet spot: games go long, creature-based strategies run dozens of Auras and pump spells, and a two-mana enchantment that generates card advantage passively for the rest of the game compounds quickly at a table of four. Oathbreaker shares enough structural similarity with Commander that the same targeting-heavy shells want it there too.

Price Context

Current price

$0.20 bulk tier

At $0.20, Season of Growth is deep bulk — you're picking it out of a commons box or grabbing a playset for under a dollar. Bulk rares with this much Commander demand tend to sit at this floor indefinitely; there's no scarcity pressure to move it up.
