Thantis, the Warweaver card art
Thantis, the Warweaver locks every creature into attack mode and grows every time anything swings — including your opponents' creatures attacking each other. The cost is a 6-mana 5/5 with no protection, which means it either eats removal before the chaos begins or reshapes the game entirely.

Thantis, the Warweaver is a Commander card through and through — the mandatory-attack trigger only generates real value when there are multiple opponents and boards full of creatures to punish. In Legacy and Vintage, where it's technically legal, it's a six-mana do-nothing against fast linear decks that will never build the kind of board state Thantis wants to exploit. Commander is the one format where Thantis earns its slot: three opponents means three boards forced into combat every turn, and each attack trigger stacks counters fast enough to turn Thantis into a lethal clock within a few rotations. Oathbreaker is the only other format worth considering, and only in creature-heavy pods where the forced-attack clause has real teeth.

Price Context

Current price

$0.96 bulk tier

At $0.96, Thantis, the Warweaver sits firmly in bulk rare territory — easy to pick up as a throw-in or cheap single. The price reflects its niche: it's powerful in the right chaos-combat shell but too narrow and fragile at six mana to command broader demand.
