Toluz, Clever Conductor

Legendary Creature — Human Rogue

When Toluz enters, it connives. (Draw a card, then discard a card. If you discarded a nonland card, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
Whenever you discard one or more cards, exile them from your graveyard.
When Toluz dies, put the cards exiled with it into their owner's hand.

Toluz, Clever Conductor card art
Toluz, Clever Conductor converts discarded cards into a second hand, turning every loot, cycle, and discard outlet into raw card advantage the moment it hits the table. The cost is three mana across three colors and a body that folds to any removal — but in the right shell, especially alongside Ketramose, the New Dawn, that fragility barely matters because the payoff is immediate.

Commander is where Toluz, Clever Conductor belongs — discard synergy decks in Esper or four- and five-color shells have the density of looting and cycling effects to make the exile-to-hand trigger fire repeatedly. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's technically legal but practically invisible; competitive discard strategies in those formats want payoffs that close games, not a three-mana 2/2 that accumulates card advantage too slowly. Vintage is the same story at higher speed. Oathbreaker offers a smaller-table environment where its snowball effect can shine, though the card sees almost no play there in practice.

Price Context

Current price

$0.25 bulk tier

At $0.25, Toluz, Clever Conductor is firmly bulk — easy to pick up as a four-of or a Commander singleton without a second thought. That price is likely to stay flat unless a high-profile discard combo deck emerges to spike demand.
