Throne of Makindi gives you a colorless land that taps for two mana whenever you cast a spell with a kicker cost — a meaningful payoff in dedicated kicker builds. Outside of that specific shell, it's a worse Wastes, and you won't touch it.

Throne of Makindi is a niche Commander inclusion that earns its slot exactly once: in a kicker-matters deck where you're casting Joraga Treespeaker, Inscription of Abundance, or Skyclave Relic on repeat. In those shells it accelerates your curve in a way few colorless lands can match. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer all have enough kicker spells to make it technically functional, but those formats demand tighter mana bases and Throne of Makindi's conditional upside rarely justifies a colorless land slot. Commander is its best home — the 100-card singleton format rewards tribal and theme decks where kicker synergy is a deliberate axis.
