Stock Up draws three cards and puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature you control — all for three mana at instant speed. That rate is clean enough to run without a synergy hook, and in Prismari, the Inspiration decks that care about instant and sorcery interaction, the counter is a bonus you didn't have to work for.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Prismari, the Inspiration
Prismari, the Inspiration triggers off instants and sorceries, so Stock Up does double duty: it refills your hand and advances the counter-accumulation gameplan Prismari is already incentivizing. At 39% inclusion across 6,000+ Prismari decks, Stock Up is close to a staple here.
Quandrix, the Proof
Quandrix, the Proof rewards casting instants and sorceries that grow creatures, and Stock Up delivers a counter and three cards in one shot — exactly the density Quandrix, the Proof wants on a single spell.
Cormela, Glamour Thief
Cormela, Glamour Thief gets stronger every time you cast instants and sorceries, and Stock Up is a cheap way to trigger her while staying ahead on cards — the kind of cantrip-plus that keeps the engine going through a long game.
Shiko, Paragon of the Way
Shiko, Paragon of the Way cares about putting counters on creatures, and Stock Up slots in as a draw spell that does that work passively — no separate counter spell needed, just a single efficient play.

In Commander, Stock Up is a legitimate three-mana draw-three at instant speed, which clears the bar most decks set for card advantage — the +1/+1 counter is upside, not a condition. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, the card faces stiffer competition: Archmage's Charm and Consider exist, and three mana is a lot to spend on draw in a format where tempo is everything. Legacy and Vintage have enough broken draw that Stock Up won't see play there. Standard is where Stock Up could carve out a real role, particularly in Simic or Izzet shells that want instant-speed refueling and can use the counter meaningfully.

Price Context
Current price
$2.67 cheap tier
At $2.67, Stock Up sits in the cheap tier — affordable enough to slot into any deck that wants it without budget deliberation. That price is likely to soften once supply catches up, but it earns its cost right now as one of the cleaner three-mana draw-threes printed in recent memory.
