Skorpekh Lord turns every Necron token into a trampling threat and pumps the whole board with a passive +1/+1 to Necrons — the damage output is immediate and scales hard with token production. The three-mana cost is essentially free for what you get; Imotekh the Stormlord decks run it in nearly 80% of lists for good reason.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Imotekh the Stormlord
Imotekh the Stormlord is the natural home — his Warrior token engine feeds directly into Skorpekh Lord's anthem and trample grant, turning a board of 2/2s into a lethal pile of trampling threats within a single combat step.
Trazyn the Infinite
Trazyn the Infinite occasionally reaches for Skorpekh Lord as an imprinted anthem piece, letting Trazyn's copy ability redeploy the buff from the graveyard — a slower but repeatable angle on the same lord effect.

Commander is where Skorpekh Lord lives; it's a tribal lord for a creature type that only has meaningful support in EDH, so the 40-life format and multiplayer board states are the context it was designed for. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but has no competitive shell — Necrons don't exist outside Commander products, so it's a blank card in those formats. Oathbreaker is the same story: legal, irrelevant unless you're running a Necron-themed build, which is a narrow ask outside Commander.

Price Context
Current price
unknown tier
Pricing data isn't available in the current index for Skorpekh Lord, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for a live figure before buying. Given its near-80% inclusion rate in Imotekh decks and status as a Commander product card with limited reprint history, expect it to carry a modest premium over bulk — worth picking up for any serious Necron build regardless of price point.
