Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset card art
Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset untaps a land, a creature, and an artifact every turn for three mana — that baseline is already strong, but the ceiling is The Chain Veil loops that generate infinite planeswalker activations. The cost is a five-mana planeswalker with a modest starting loyalty, which means it doesn't survive every table, but in the right shell it's a engine piece masquerading as a value card.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Commodore Guff

Commodore Guff

36.4% of decks · synergy 0.34

Commodore Guff runs Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset in over a third of its builds because the untap trigger advances the planeswalker-heavy game plan on every upkeep — untapping Guff himself plus a mana rock means the superfriends engine accelerates without spending an extra action.

02
Hylda of the Icy Crown

Hylda of the Icy Crown

29.2% of decks · synergy 0.25

Hylda of the Icy Crown prizes tapping and untapping, and Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset fits neatly into that rhythm — the untap effect can reset Hylda herself, and the incidental artifact untap keeps mana open for Hylda's triggered abilities on opponents' turns.

03
Merieke Ri Berit

Merieke Ri Berit

13.3% of decks · synergy 0.13

Merieke Ri Berit must tap to steal creatures and untap to keep them, so Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset is a repeatable untap engine that lets Merieke steal again each turn without relying on combat or dedicated untap spells.

legacy legal
modern legal

standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset does its best work — the multiplayer game gives the planeswalker time to tick up, and the artifact-plus-creature-plus-land untap consistently generates meaningful value across a long game. In dedicated The Chain Veil shells or superfriends lists, it's not just an include but a key piece. In Modern and Pioneer, it's fringe at best: five mana is steep for those formats, and while the untap effect can support tap-out control, there's too much competition at that slot for Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset to carve out a reliable role. Legacy and Vintage are theoretically legal but practically irrelevant given the power level of those formats.

Price Context

Current price

$3.88 cheap tier

At $3.88, Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset is firmly budget-tier for a mythic planeswalker with genuine combo potential. That price reflects modest competitive demand outside Commander — it's an easy include that won't strain a deck's budget, and there's no strong pressure driving it higher unless a breakout Modern or Pioneer shell emerges.
