Thunderous Might turns power into damage — every point of power your creature already has becomes a free point of reach, and it costs a single mana to stick. Clive, Ifrit's Dominant in particular hits absurd numbers with it because Clive scales power aggressively, meaning Thunderous Might converts that scaling directly into one-shot potential.

Clive, Ifrit's Dominant pumps power through his own abilities, and Thunderous Might turns that accumulated power into direct damage — making every combat step a potential kill shot without needing to connect with the actual attack.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Thunderous Might is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but Commander is where it actually matters. In 60-card formats the effect is too narrow — enchanting a single creature for a power-to-damage conversion doesn't close games reliably enough when removal is cheap and life totals are 20. In Commander, the math flips: a commander with naturally high power or a scaling engine behind it can turn Thunderous Might into a repeatable win condition for one mana, which is an absurd rate when you're threatening 40 life totals.

Price Context
Current price
$0.28 bulk tier
At $0.28, Thunderous Might is deep bulk — you're picking this up as throw-in trade fodder or a 25-cent bin find. Bulk rares with narrow homes rarely appreciate unless a new commander breaks them wide open, so treat it as a role-player you grab when building the deck, not a spec.
