Silver Myr card art
Silver Myr does one thing — add a colorless mana each turn — but in artifact-tribal shells that one thing compounds fast, especially once Myr Galvanizer starts untapping the board. Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch runs it in 96% of decks for good reason: it's a Myr that taps for mana, and that's exactly the double-dipping the engine demands.

Commanders with the highest synergy

Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch

Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch

96.2% of decks · synergy 0.93

Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch triggers off every Myr that enters the battlefield and untaps them all in combat, so Silver Myr isn't just ramp — it's a free untap target that generates mana again on your next main phase. At a 96% inclusion rate across more than 16,000 decks, it's close to an automatic inclusion.

02
Arcum Dagsson

Arcum Dagsson

79.3% of decks · synergy 0.69

Arcum Dagsson needs artifact creatures on the battlefield to sacrifice to his ability, and Silver Myr is a cheap, low-investment body that fits that role without committing anything you can't replace. Silver Myr gets Arcum online faster and funds the blue mana his activated ability doesn't technically cost but his spell suite absolutely does.

03
Urza, Chief Artificer

Urza, Chief Artificer

47.5% of decks · synergy 0.45

Urza, Chief Artificer makes every artifact creature into a threat, so Silver Myr pulls double duty as a mana source that also becomes a menace blocker or attacker without any extra investment. Silver Myr is exactly the kind of low-cost artifact creature Urza wants flooding the board.

04
Memnarch

Memnarch

52.6% of decks · synergy 0.42

Memnarch has an expensive activated ability and a hunger for mana that Silver Myr helps satisfy from the earliest turns. Getting Memnarch's steal engine online a turn earlier is the whole argument.

commander legal

pioneer not legal
standard not legal

pauper legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Silver Myr earns its keep — artifact-tribal decks, Myr-specific engines, and colorless-hungry commanders all have legitimate reasons to run it, and the Myr creature type matters in a way it simply doesn't elsewhere. In Pauper, Silver Myr sees fringe play as budget mana acceleration in artifact builds, though it competes with purpose-built ramp in that format. Legacy and Vintage are legal but uninterested — the formats move too fast for a 2-mana 1/1 that taps for one. Silver Myr is a Commander card through and through: the slower pace and tribal synergies are what make it worth a slot.
