Stalking Vengeance card art
Stalking Vengeance turns every creature death into a free Lightning Bolt to the face — stack enough power on the board and a single board wipe becomes a kill shot. Seven mana is real, but commanders like Feldon of the Third Path and Brion Stoutarm treat that cost as an investment that pays out the moment anything dies.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Brion Stoutarm

Brion Stoutarm

51.3% of decks · synergy 0.51

Brion Stoutarm flings creatures for damage and Stalking Vengeance means each creature dealt throws a second punch — the flung creature's power hits the opponent twice, once from Brion and once from the trigger.

02
Alena, Kessig TrapperGilanra, Caller of Wirewood

Alena, Kessig Trapper // Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood

52.4% of decks · synergy 0.51

Alena, Kessig Trapper // Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood builds around large power creatures entering and dying, and Stalking Vengeance converts every sacrifice or removal into a damage source that scales with the oversized threats the deck already wants.

03
Herigast, Erupting Nullkite

Herigast, Erupting Nullkite

39.8% of decks · synergy 0.38

Herigast, Erupting Nullkite cares about expensive creatures hitting the battlefield and leaving, and Stalking Vengeance tags every one of those exits with a damage trigger proportional to the big bodies the deck already runs.

04
Ziatora, the Incinerator

Ziatora, the Incinerator

41.1% of decks · synergy 0.37

Ziatora, the Incinerator sacrifices a creature every combat for damage and treasure, and Stalking Vengeance stacks an additional damage burst on top of each sacrifice — the same creature does triple duty between Ziatora's fling, the combat trigger, and the Vengeance ping.

05
Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder

Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder

26.4% of decks · synergy 0.22

Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder pumps power to maximize fling damage, and Stalking Vengeance rewards that same investment in power by converting each creature death into a proportional damage trigger aimed directly at opponents.

Commander is where Stalking Vengeance actually lives — multiplayer means multiple opponents to distribute damage triggers across, and the sacrifice and board-wipe-heavy nature of the format gives the seven-mana enchantment consistent payoff. In Legacy, Modern, and Vintage it's technically legal but effectively invisible; the formats are too fast and too interactive for a seven-mana do-nothing-on-entry enchantment to matter. Oathbreaker shares Commander's multiplayer logic and could support it in the right creature-heavy shell, though the smaller deck size makes it harder to assemble the critical mass of dying creatures it needs.

Price Context

Current price

$0.35 bulk tier

At $0.35, Stalking Vengeance is deep bulk — easy to pick up from any binder or bulk box without a second thought. Bulk rares with niche Commander appeal tend to stay in this range, so don't expect movement, but at that price there's no reason not to own a copy if the shell fits.
