The Cloning of Shredder puts a copy of Super Shredder onto the battlefield — doubling your most threatening piece for whatever the spell costs. If you're running the commander, this is not a maybe; it's a slot.

Super Shredder
Super Shredder wants redundancy and board presence above everything else, and The Cloning of Shredder delivers a second copy of the threat itself — that's not synergy, that's the engine.

In Commander, The Cloning of Shredder is a role-player in exactly one shell: Super Shredder decks that want to maximize the number of times that threat is on the board. Outside that context, it's dead weight. In 60-card formats — Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy — clone effects compete against a deep pool of flexible copy spells, and a card this narrowly pointed at one creature rarely earns a slot unless that creature is a format staple. The Cloning of Shredder is legal across all major constructed formats, but its real home is the 100-card singleton format where the namesake commander makes it purpose-built.

Price Context
Current price
$1.76 cheap tier
At $1.76, The Cloning of Shredder sits in the cheap tier — low enough that if you're playing Super Shredder, there's no budget argument against including it. Niche cards priced this low tend to stay flat unless the commander spikes in popularity, so don't expect movement either direction.
