Secret Plans draws you a card every time a face-down creature enters the battlefield under your control — a continuous, low-cost advantage engine that scales directly with how many morph and disguise creatures you're casting. Two mana to turn every face-down play into a cantrip is the deal, and in Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer decks it's essentially mandatory.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer
Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer already draws you a card the first time you play a face-down creature each turn; Secret Plans removes the 'first time' ceiling entirely, turning every subsequent morph into card draw and making the engine run at full speed all game.
Zimone, Mystery Unraveler
Zimone, Mystery Unraveler cares about casting spells with the same name you've cast before, and a deck built around her naturally stockpiles morph and disguise creatures — exactly the triggers Secret Plans rewards with extra draw.
Vannifar, Evolved Enigma
Vannifar, Evolved Enigma's morph-heavy shell needs card velocity to chain face-down plays together, and Secret Plans converts each disguise entry into a replacement card, keeping the hand full while the board fills out.

Secret Plans is a Commander card — full stop. Outside of a dedicated morph strategy, drawing a card for face-down entries isn't a mechanic any competitive format is trying to exploit. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's legal but irrelevant; no serious archetype wants a two-mana enchantment that does nothing unless you're already casting morphs. Commander is where Secret Plans earns every slot, specifically in Sultai or Temur morph builds where face-down creatures are the deck's primary action and card advantage is the resource that makes or breaks the engine.

Price Context
Current price
$0.30 bulk tier
At $0.30, Secret Plans is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or from a bargain bin. Given its narrow but near-universal inclusion in Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer decks, it's unlikely to spike, but it also has no reason to drop further.
