Tarmogoyf Nest

Kindred Enchantment — Lhurgoyf Aura

Enchant land
Enchanted land has "{1}{G}, {T}: Create a Tarmogoyf token." (It's a {1}{G} Lhurgoyf creature with "Tarmogoyf's power is equal to the number of card types among cards in all graveyards and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1.")

Tarmogoyf Nest card art
Tarmogoyf Nest floods the board with 0/1 Lhurgoyf tokens whenever a creature enters under your control, and pairs with Intruder Alarm to turn any creature ETB into a chain that refills your board every turn. The cost is real — it does nothing without a steady stream of creature triggers — but in the right shell, Disa the Restless turns it into an engine that scales out of control fast.

Disa the Restless

Disa the Restless

81.0% of decks · synergy 0.76

Disa the Restless is the premier home for Tarmogoyf Nest: every Lhurgoyf she returns from the graveyard triggers the Nest, which creates tokens that can die to trigger her again, building a self-reinforcing loop of tokens and recursion.

02
Rendmaw, Creaking Nest

Rendmaw, Creaking Nest

16.4% of decks · synergy 0.16

Rendmaw, Creaking Nest already rewards you for going wide with creatures, and Tarmogoyf Nest doubles the token output on every creature ETB — the two cards share the same axis and stack their payoffs naturally.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern not legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Tarmogoyf Nest is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but Commander is where it actually sees play — the 100-card singleton format gives it the creature-dense, value-hungry shells it needs to fire repeatedly. In Legacy and Vintage, the card is too slow and too dependent on a supporting cast to compete with the raw efficiency those formats demand; it's legal but functionally absent from those tables. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander in structure, so the same token-engine builds that want it there translate cleanly, particularly with a planeswalker that generates or recurs creatures.

Price Context

Current price

$0.48 bulk tier

At $0.48, Tarmogoyf Nest sits firmly in bulk territory — easy to pick up as a four-of or a dozen copies without a second thought. Its price reflects narrow playability rather than low power; if token or Lhurgoyf synergies gain traction, that floor could shift, but right now it's a casual-staple rate for a card with genuine combo upside.
