Weather Maker locks down combat by tapping all creatures with flying at the start of each combat, turning the most common evasion type in Commander into a liability for everyone at the table. The cost is real — three mana and an artifact slot — but Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought turns that soft lock into a one-sided stranglehold the moment your own flyers are exempt.

Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought
Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought builds around amassing and attacking on the ground, so Weather Maker neutralizes the aerial blockers and attackers that would otherwise punish that strategy while leaving your own army untouched.

In Commander, Weather Maker occupies a niche control role — it doesn't stop ground combat, but in a format stuffed with Angels, Dragons, and token flyers, tapping the entire sky at the start of each combat is genuinely disruptive and affects multiple opponents simultaneously. Constructed formats like Standard, Pioneer, and Modern have the tools to punish a three-mana do-nothing-the-turn-it-enters artifact, and flying creatures there are too targeted and efficient for a blanket tap effect to dominate. Weather Maker is functionally a Commander card; it goes in the 99 when your strategy specifically wants to ground the game.

Price Context
Current price
$1.38 cheap tier
At $1.38, Weather Maker sits comfortably in the budget tier — you're paying almost nothing for a repeatable combat disruption effect. It's a new enough card with narrow enough appeal that the price is stable; don't expect it to spike unless a dominant Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought archetype emerges.
