Tower of Fortunes card art
Tower of Fortunes draws four cards for eight mana total — a steep ask, but the effect is real and repeatable. The ceiling spikes hard with mana untap engines like Mind Over Matter, which can fire it multiple times in a single turn.

Tower of Fortunes is a Commander card through and through — the eight-mana activation is a footnote in a format where games go long and mana production scales well past ten. In Legacy, Modern, and Vintage it's simply unplayable; those formats end before the Tower ever fires, and far cheaper card draw exists at every point on the curve. Oathbreaker shares enough of Commander's slower pace that the Tower can occasionally find a home, but the smaller starting hand size and faster clock make it a fringe inclusion at best.

Price Context

Current price

$0.31 bulk tier

At $0.31, Tower of Fortunes is bulk — easy to acquire and easy to cut without regret. The price reflects its narrow playability, and there's no pressure on that floor given how many cheaper, more efficient draw options compete for the same slot.
