Tribal Forcemage turns every nontoken creature Yedora, Grave Gardener returns into a Forest — and since those Forests are also creatures, Tribal Forcemage's pump effect applies the moment they enter, creating a recursive engine that grows the board while fueling more landfall triggers. The cost is a narrow dependency: outside of Yedora, Grave Gardener, this card does almost nothing.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Yedora, Grave Gardener
Yedora, Grave Gardener's whole game is turning the graveyard into a land base, and Tribal Forcemage closes the loop — every Forest-creature that enters gets buffed, every buff that dies feeds Yedora again, and the engine runs itself.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Tribal Forcemage is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but Legacy and Vintage have no realistic use for it — those formats don't slow down enough to care about incremental tribal pump on a three-mana 1/1. Commander is the only context where Tribal Forcemage earns a slot, and even there it belongs in exactly one archetype: Yedora, Grave Gardener landfall-creature loops. In Oathbreaker the same logic applies; if your planeswalker and signature spell aren't building toward that engine, leave it out.

Current price
$0.57 bulk tier
At $0.57, Tribal Forcemage is firmly bulk — you're not paying a premium for the effect. Demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to move unless Yedora, Grave Gardener spikes in popularity, so buy it when you need it and don't think twice.
