Is Sunfrill Imitator good in Commander?

Sunfrill Imitator in Commander — Combos, Decks & Price

Sunfrill Imitator enters as a copy of any Dinosaur on the battlefield, which means it immediately contributes a second body at whatever power level your board has already reached. At three mana in Naya colors, it's an easy include in any Dinosaur shell, and under Pantlaza, Sun-Favored it triggers discover the moment it lands.

Commander is where Sunfrill Imitator actually lives — Dinosaur tribal is almost exclusively an EDH phenomenon, and that's the context where copying a Ghalta or a Etali at three mana becomes genuinely threatening. Legacy and Vintage legality is technical; no competitive shell there has any interest in a narrow Clone variant with a creature-type restriction. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander: legal, but only relevant if you're already in a Dinosaur gameplan.

Price Context

Current price

$3.30 cheap tier

At $3.30, Sunfrill Imitator sits at the cheap end of the market for a mythic-level effect with a narrow home. It's a fair price for what it does — don't expect it to climb unless Dinosaur tribal gets a high-profile new commander, and don't expect it to fall much given its near-universal inclusion in the decks that want it.
