Valor grants all your creatures first strike as long as it sits in your graveyard — a passive, board-wide buff that costs nothing to maintain once it's there. The two-mana white enchantment is a natural fit anywhere you want your combat math to swing in your favor before a single creature even trades.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Mog, Moogle Warrior
Mog, Moogle Warrior actively wants enchantments in the graveyard to fuel his abilities, so Valor does double duty — it sets up graveyard synergy on the way down and then sits there granting your whole board first strike for the rest of the game.

In Commander, Valor is a low-investment way to shift combat permanently in your favor, and the fact that it operates from the graveyard means removal only helps you. It slots into any white-inclusive deck that can reliably fill the yard — self-mill, reanimator, or Mog, Moogle Warrior-style enchantment-value builds. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but sees no meaningful play; the formats move too fast for a slow enchantment that relies on dying to do anything relevant. Oathbreaker shares Commander's multiplayer texture, so the same logic applies there — it's a niche but functional include in the right shell.

Price Context
Current price
$0.61 bulk tier
At $0.61, Valor is firmly bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a potentially game-long first strike anthem. That price is stable; there's no demand spike coming for a narrow graveyard enchantment, but you're not buying it for the secondary market anyway.
