Titan's Strength pumps a creature +3/+1 and scrys 1 for a single red mana — that's a lot of work for one mana. In Feather, the Redeemed decks it comes back every turn, turning a throwaway combat trick into a repeatable scry engine that also happens to win combat.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Feather, the Redeemed
Feather, the Redeemed returns Titan's Strength to hand at end of turn, so a one-mana pump spell becomes a permanent fixture — you're getting the +3/+1 and a scry every single combat for the rest of the game.
Zada, Hedron Grinder
Cast Titan's Strength targeting Zada, Hedron Grinder and it copies to every creature you control — your whole board gets +3/+1 and you scry once for each token, turning a single red mana into a massive swing and a deep look at your deck.
Xyris, the Writhing Storm
Xyris, the Writhing Storm builds wide token boards that want a cheap, wide pump, and Titan's Strength pairs cleanly with Zada effects in the 99 to push the whole swarm through for lethal.
Elsha, Threefold Master
Elsha, Threefold Master cares about casting noncreature spells from the top of your library, and the scry 1 on Titan's Strength is exactly the kind of low-cost manipulation that keeps the chain moving when Elsha is online.
Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might
Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might replaces noncombat red damage equal to less than its power with its power instead, so the +3/+1 from Titan's Strength directly increases the floor on every burn spell you fire while Axonil is out.

In Commander, Titan's Strength earns its slot only in specific engines — Feather, the Redeemed and Zada, Hedron Grinder decks are the canonical homes, and outside of those it's too narrow to justify. In Pauper it sees occasional play in Heroic and go-wide red strategies where the scry 1 adds real value at common. Modern and Pioneer have enough cheap pump options that Titan's Strength rarely makes the cut outside of budget brews, though the scry keeps it honest against pure power comparisons. Legacy isn't interested — the card is fine but not format-warping.

Price Context
Current price
unknown tier
Titan's Strength is a bulk common and almost certainly under $0.50 at any retailer — check your local game store's bulk bin before buying singles online. At that price point there's no reason not to pick up a copy if you're building Feather, the Redeemed or Zada, Hedron Grinder.
