The Everflowing Well // The Myriad Pools enters as a six-mana artifact that produces three Treasure tokens and then transforms into a land that taps for two mana of any color — net result is a mana engine that pays for itself over two or three turns. The setup cost is real, but in Tetzin, Gnome Champion decks it doubles as a gold-counter trigger and a permanent mana source that never runs dry.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Tetzin, Gnome Champion
Tetzin, Gnome Champion runs The Everflowing Well // The Myriad Pools in 86% of decks because the Treasure production loads up gold counters on Tetzin directly, and the transformed Myriad Pools supplies the colored mana those activations demand.
Lara Croft, Tomb Raider
Lara Croft, Tomb Raider wants artifacts with layered value, and The Everflowing Well // The Myriad Pools delivers on both counts — Treasures to sacrifice for her explore triggers and a land-side payoff that keeps the mana base ticking after the tokens are spent.
The Ancient One
The Ancient One cares about flipping large permanent types, and The Everflowing Well // The Myriad Pools is a double-faced card that counts as both artifact and land, making it a clean two-type contribution toward the transformation condition.
Emry, Lurker of the Loch
Emry, Lurker of the Loch can recur artifacts from the graveyard, and while The Everflowing Well // The Myriad Pools isn't a primary target, the artifact half is castable through Emry if it gets milled — a minor upside that justifies its inclusion in roughly 13% of her builds.

In Commander, The Everflowing Well // The Myriad Pools is a role-player rather than a staple — it earns its slot in artifact-matters and Treasure-synergy decks but is too slow and too narrow to justify in a generic 99. Competitive non-rotating formats like Legacy and Vintage have no use for a six-mana setup piece when faster mana acceleration exists at every turn count. Modern and Pioneer could theoretically support it in a ramp shell, but the combination of a high entry cost and a payoff that amounts to a tap-land rarely clears the bar against more efficient two-drop ramp. Standard is the most plausible home outside Commander, particularly in artifact-based midrange lists that need late-game mana fixing and have the turns to set it up.
