Is Ugin's Labyrinth good in Commander?

Ugin's Labyrinth in Commander — Combos, Decks & Price

Ugin's Labyrinth taps for two colorless mana the turn it enters — effectively a Sol Ring stapled to a land slot — as long as you exile a seven-or-more-mana card from your hand to power it. The exile cost is trivially cheap in any deck that wants to cast those spells anyway, making Ugin's Labyrinth an auto-include for commanders like Ulalek, Fused Atrocity that are already stuffed with expensive Eldrazi.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity

44.4% of decks · synergy 0.42

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity decks are packed wall-to-wall with expensive Eldrazi, so exiling one to fuel Ugin's Labyrinth costs nothing — you're banking the card, not losing it. The two-mana boost lands on turn one and accelerates Ulalek into play multiple turns ahead of schedule.

02

Herigast, Erupting Nullkite

32.8% of decks · synergy 0.32

Herigast, Erupting Nullkite already wants a hand full of high-CMC creatures to exploit its cost-reduction, and those same cards are exactly what Ugin's Labyrinth needs in exile. The early ramp compounds Herigast's own acceleration, letting the deck reach critical mass faster.

03

Zhulodok, Void Gorger

56.1% of decks · synergy 0.22

Zhulodok, Void Gorger's whole game plan is casting seven-plus-mana spells for double cascade value, so every card that fuels Ugin's Labyrinth is also a cascade trigger waiting to happen. At 56% inclusion, the land is effectively a staple of the archetype.

04

Ultima, Origin of Oblivion

47.9% of decks · synergy 0.13

Ultima, Origin of Oblivion demands an absurd amount of mana to function, and Ugin's Labyrinth provides a free ramp piece that also stocks the exile zone with the giant spells Ultima wants to interact with. Nearly half of all Ultima decks run it for that reason.

05

Kruphix, God of Horizons

11.0% of decks · synergy 0.11

Kruphix, God of Horizons converts excess mana into a colorless mana bank across turns, and Ugin's Labyrinth's two-mana burst feeds that engine early before Kruphix even hits the table. The synergy is less explosive than Eldrazi commanders but meaningful enough to justify inclusion in big-mana Simic shells.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

Format	Verdict
commander	legal
legacy	legal
modern	legal
pioneer	not legal
standard	not legal
vintage	legal
pauper	not legal
oathbreaker	legal

Commander is where Ugin's Labyrinth lives — the format's singleton structure and abundance of high-CMC payoffs make the exile cost trivial, and the two-mana acceleration is backbreaking at a table with 40-life clocks. In Legacy and Vintage, the land is legal but competes against a much faster axis of play; decks there rarely want to exile a seven-drop from their hand on turn one when the game might be over by turn two. Modern is theoretically legal but the same problem applies: the format's power level doesn't reward the setup cost the way Commander does. Oathbreaker is a natural home for colorless or big-mana signatures where Ugin's Labyrinth slots in cleanly.
