Six card art
Six enters and immediately mills you for the number of land cards in your graveyard — in a deck built around self-mill and recursion, that's a snowballing trigger that can bury your opponents in card advantage on the spot. Life from the Loam loops and Lumra, Bellow of the Woods shells make Six a first-pick inclusion, not an afterthought.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Lumra, Bellow of the Woods

Lumra, Bellow of the Woods

73.4% of decks · synergy 0.67

Lumra, Bellow of the Woods triggers off lands entering from the graveyard, and Six mills aggressively enough to load the yard and chain those triggers in the same turn cycle — the two cards form a self-reinforcing engine.

02
Kirri, Talented Sprout

Kirri, Talented Sprout

55.4% of decks · synergy 0.53

Kirri, Talented Sprout cares about casting noncreature spells and putting +1/+1 counters, but the deeper pull is the landfall-adjacent graveyard synergy — Six dumps lands into the yard fast enough to fuel the recursion loops that keep Kirri's board growing.

03
The Necrobloom

The Necrobloom

66.2% of decks · synergy 0.52

The Necrobloom puts Zombies into play whenever lands enter from the graveyard, and Six can mill enough lands in a single trigger to create a wave of tokens without spending additional resources.

04

Grist, Voracious Larva

57.7% of decks · synergy 0.51

Grist, Voracious Larva fuels itself on creatures hitting the graveyard, and Six's mill output fills the yard with both lands and incidental creatures, giving Grist consistent fodder to convert into loyalty and board presence.

05
The Gitrog Monster

The Gitrog Monster

52.7% of decks · synergy 0.46

The Gitrog Monster draws a card whenever a land hits the graveyard, and Six can turn a stacked yard into a multi-card draw in a single trigger — pairing Six with The Gitrog Monster is one of the fastest ways to refuel an entire hand.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

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

Commander is where Six lives — the 100-card singleton format gives self-mill strategies room to breathe, and the multiplayer pace means Six's compounding mill trigger has time to become backbreaking. In Legacy and Vintage, Six is legal but competes against faster disruption and combo density that rarely lets a five-mana enchantment resolve and matter. Modern is legal on paper, but graveyard hate is ubiquitous enough that Six's payoff collapses the moment a Rest in Peace hits the table. Oathbreaker is the sleeper format for Six — dredge and land-recursion oathbreakers can abuse it in ways that approach Commander-level consistency.

Budget Alternatives

Cheaper options that do most of the same work

Golgari Grave-Troll fills a similar self-mill role at a fraction of the price and cycles back into the graveyard naturally, though it doesn't replicate Six's scalable, lands-matter trigger on entry. Perpetual Timepiece and Stitcher's Supplier both mill steadily for under a dollar, but neither generates the burst that makes Six worth the slot — treat them as complementary pieces rather than direct replacements if budget is the constraint.

Price Context

Current price

$13.51 mid tier

At $13.51, Six sits in the mid tier — expensive enough to feel like a deliberate buy, reasonable enough that it belongs in any deck genuinely built around graveyard-land synergy. It's a specialty card with a narrow but passionate audience, so the price reflects real demand from Lumra and Gitrog Monster builds rather than hype.
