Shared Animosity turns a board of same-named attackers into a lethal pile in a single swing — every attacking creature of the same creature type pumps every other one, so ten Goblins don't hit for ten damage, they hit for one hundred. At three mana, the setup cost is low enough that any tribal deck running red should treat it as a default inclusion rather than a consideration.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Éowyn, Shieldmaiden
Éowyn, Shieldmaiden generates a wide board of Human and Soldier tokens on entry and incentivizes attacking, so Shared Animosity converts that naturally wide battlefield into a one-shot threat the moment you swing.
Sethron, Hurloon General
Sethron, Hurloon General pumps out Minotaur tokens and buffs the whole tribe whenever a Minotaur ETBs, stacking on top of Shared Animosity to produce exponential damage spikes as the board grows.
Gornog, the Red Reaper
Gornog, the Red Reaper rewards attacking with Goblin tokens whenever a creature dies in combat, meaning Shared Animosity's bonus scales in real time as the board generates more threats mid-swing.
Admiral Brass, Unsinkable
Admiral Brass, Unsinkable fields a reanimating Pirate army that keeps growing even through board wipes, and Shared Animosity rewards that sustained critical mass with a massive damage bonus on the turn you commit to attacking.
Commander Mustard
Commander Mustard's Soldier tribal strategy wants as many bodies pointing sideways as possible, and Shared Animosity is the card that punishes opponents for letting that board go unchecked for even a single turn.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Shared Animosity does its best work — tribal go-wide is a dominant archetype, multiplayer life totals demand burst damage, and the enchantment sits at a cost low enough to deploy well before the decisive combat. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but irrelevant; those formats move too fast for a three-mana enchantment that requires a tribal board state to produce any value. Oathbreaker offers a narrower but real home in Goblin or token-based lists where the planeswalker doubles as a threat multiplier. Shared Animosity is a Commander card in practice, even if the rules allow it elsewhere.

Price Context
Current price
$2.13 cheap tier
At $2.13, Shared Animosity sits in the cheap tier and is one of the better-value tribal payoffs in red — the combination of broad applicability across creature types and consistent inclusion rates above 60% in its best commanders keeps steady demand on the card. It's not going to spike, but it also isn't going to get cheaper as tribal Commander decks remain perennially popular.
