Tura Kennerüd, Skyknight card art
Tura Kennerüd, Skyknight turns every instant you cast into a free spell — its triggered ability copies the instant and puts the copy onto the stack without spending mana, which is backbreaking value at six mana if you untap with it. The cost is real: six mana is a lot to ask before the engine goes live, but in Zethi, Arcane Blademaster decks or alongside Mnemonic Wall loops, that one trigger can end the game.

Zethi, Arcane Blademaster imprints instants and replays them for free each combat, so Tura Kennerüd, Skyknight doubles every one of those triggers — the combination turns a single Zethi activation into a cascade of copied spells that most boards can't survive.

Tura Kennerüd, Skyknight is a Commander card through and through — the six-mana cost is too slow for Legacy or Modern, where the game is often decided before you untap with a six-drop, and Pioneer's aggressive metagame offers no hospitable home either. In Commander, the calculus flips: one extra turn cycle with Tura in play can generate three or four free spell copies off a single line of instants, which is the kind of asymmetric value the format rewards. Oathbreaker is the one competitive-adjacent format where it might occasionally see action, though again only in a dedicated instant-copy shell.
