Vizier of Remedies is a combo enabler first and a board presence second — the +1/+1 counter replacement effect is what makes Devoted Druid go infinite, and that single interaction justifies running it in any white-green shell that can assemble the pair. Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn decks in particular treat it as a near-auto-include, since the commander's counter-manipulation directly feeds the engine.

Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn
Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn's ability to place and manipulate counters creates a natural home for Vizier of Remedies — the replacement effect turns Eirdu's counter-based loops into mana-positive engines, and the inclusion rate of 44% across Eirdu decks reflects exactly how central that interaction is.

In Commander, Vizier of Remedies is a role-player that earns its slot almost exclusively through combo potential — the Devoted Druid line generates infinite mana and wins on the spot, and white-green decks with any counter synergy are happy to run it. In Modern and Legacy, it has seen fringe play in creature-combo shells alongside Devoted Druid and Walking Ballista, though those formats have since moved on to faster or more redundant configurations. Pioneer offers a similar combo-centric shell where the card is technically legal but rarely sees competitive play. Vizier of Remedies is a Commander card at heart: the 2/1 body is irrelevant outside combo context, and the formats that care about speed don't reward a two-card setup that requires both pieces on board.

Current price
$0.27 bulk tier
At $0.27, Vizier of Remedies is firmly bulk — a consequence of its narrow role and multiple printings keeping supply high. The price is unlikely to move significantly unless a new commander pushes counter-replacement into mainstream demand, so pick it up freely whenever you need it.
