Vishgraz, the Doomhive card art
Vishgraz, the Doomhive enters and immediately puts three 1/1 Mites with toxic 1 onto the battlefield, making it a three-for-one before it attacks once — the floor is high. The cost is the six-mana price tag and a body that telegraphs itself, but Nim Deathmantle loops and Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa synergies push it well past casual bulk status.

Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa

Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa

75.5% of decks · synergy 0.73

Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa runs a toxic-and-poison gameplan where every Mite Vishgraz, the Doomhive spawns is another infect-adjacent threat pushing opponents toward ten counters — the entry trigger alone does real work the moment Vishgraz hits the table.

02
Atraxa, Praetors' Voice

Atraxa, Praetors' Voice

20.3% of decks · synergy 0.08

Atraxa, Praetors' Voice decks that lean on proliferate want cheap poison vectors, and Vishgraz, the Doomhive provides three of them at once — each Mite is a proliferate trigger target waiting to snowball.

Vishgraz, the Doomhive is a Commander card through and through — six mana is acceptable when you're the 100-card singleton engine, and the enters-the-battlefield trigger scales well against three opponents. In Vintage and Legacy it's technically legal but realistically unplayable; nothing in those formats wants a six-mana legendary that makes 1/1s. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander format where it could see fringe play if the signature spell supports a poison-counter kill, but the competition for that slot is stiff.

Price Context

Current price

$1.46 cheap tier

At $1.46, Vishgraz, the Doomhive sits in the cheap tier — fair for a mythic that sees play primarily in dedicated Phyrexian tribal and poison builds rather than across the format. It's not a card that appreciates on speculation, but it's also unlikely to crater further given steady inclusion in Ixhel lists.
