Stargaze lets you look at the top cards of your library and pick up a constellation or enchantment — raw card selection stapled to a cost that rewards building around the enchantment type. In Zoraline, Cosmos Caller decks it's close to mandatory, since every constellation trigger you set up in advance pays off the moment Zoraline hits the board.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Zoraline, Cosmos Caller
Zoraline, Cosmos Caller wants a steady pipeline of enchantments to trigger constellation repeatedly, and Stargaze does exactly that while also digging toward whatever piece the engine is missing next.
Witherbloom, the Balancer
Witherbloom, the Balancer cares about life totals and enchantment density, and Stargaze slots in as cheap, focused selection that keeps the enchantment count high without spending early mana on bulk.
Betor, Ancestor's Voice
Betor, Ancestor's Voice runs enchantments as a core resource, and Stargaze turns the top of the library into a mini-tutor that keeps the engine fed on curve.

Commander is where Stargaze earns its slot — enchantress and constellation shells need consistent access to enchantments, and targeted library selection at low mana cost is exactly what those decks want. In competitive non-rotating formats like Legacy and Modern, Stargaze faces a high bar: cantrips that replace themselves unconditionally tend to outperform selection spells that leave you a card down unless the payoff is immediate and substantial. Pioneer and Standard are its most realistic non-Commander homes, where the card pool for direct competition is narrower and constellation-style synergies can close games fast enough to justify the tempo. Across every legal format, Stargaze is a role-player, not a format staple — its ceiling is entirely determined by how many enchantment payoffs surround it.
