Spitfire Lagac turns every land drop into a pinged face — three mana for a 3/2 that deals 1 damage to each opponent whenever a land enters under your control. The cost is modest and the effect is passive, but in dedicated landfall shells, especially alongside Gev, Scaled Scorch, where the pings compound rapidly, Life and Limb can turn that trickle into a flood of triggers.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Gev, Scaled Scorch
Gev, Scaled Scorch's ability to place +1/+1 counters via damage dealt to opponents means every land drop through Spitfire Lagac is simultaneously ticking up your board state — the two cards are effectively co-engines in the same loop.
Tannuk, Memorial Ensign
Tannuk, Memorial Ensign rewards you for having creatures with counters, and Spitfire Lagac's steady stream of damage-triggers feeds that counter economy every time a land enters the battlefield.
Phylath, World Sculptor
Phylath, World Sculptor already floods the board with Plant tokens off basic land drops, and Spitfire Lagac converts those same landfall triggers into direct damage, doubling the return on every fetch or ramp spell.
Soul of Windgrace
Soul of Windgrace enables multiple land drops per turn from the graveyard, and Spitfire Lagac scales directly with that volume — more lands played means more opponents taking chip damage across the game.
Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might
Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might replaces any source dealing less than 4 damage with 4 damage instead, so Spitfire Lagac's 1-damage landfall pings each become 4 — a brutal conversion rate on an otherwise modest trigger.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Spitfire Lagac is legal across every major format but sees virtually no competitive play outside Commander. In Standard, Pioneer, and Modern, a three-mana 3/2 with a passive ping trigger is too slow and too low-impact to contend with dedicated aggro or combo strategies. Pauper is where it has the most theoretical appeal outside Commander, given the format's slower clock, but even there the effect doesn't close games fast enough. Commander is its real home: multiplayer means three opponents are all taking that 1 damage per land, and in a 40-life format the cumulative math from a landfall-heavy deck becomes genuinely threatening over a long game.

Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Spitfire Lagac is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box or pick up as an afterthought in a large order. That price is stable; there's no spike potential here, but you're also never paying meaningfully for the effect.
