Will of the Temur card art
Will of the Temur copies a spell you control and lets you redirect the original — a two-for-one that doubles your best instant or sorcery while pointing the source somewhere harmless. The cost is steep enough that you need a payoff worth the mana, but in Ureni of the Unwritten decks and Dualcaster Mage lines, that bar clears easily.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Ureni of the Unwritten

Ureni of the Unwritten

55.2% of decks · synergy 0.47

Ureni of the Unwritten appears in over 55% of Ureni decks because Will of the Temur is a direct extension of what the commander does — copy a big spell, redirect the original, and let Ureni's triggers fire twice.

02

Ashling, Rekindled

33.8% of decks · synergy 0.32

Ashling, Rekindled wants to double up on high-impact instants and sorceries, and Will of the Temur delivers exactly that while letting Ashling keep the redirected original pointed at whatever needs to die.

03
Hidetsugu and Kairi

Hidetsugu and Kairi

30.5% of decks · synergy 0.30

Hidetsugu and Kairi runs Will of the Temur to copy the haymakers that Kairi's death trigger digs up, squeezing two activations out of a single high-cost spell.

04
Eshki, Temur's Roar

Eshki, Temur's Roar

19.6% of decks · synergy 0.12

Will of the Temur fits naturally into Eshki, Temur's Roar because copying a kicked or otherwise scaled spell doubles the payoff Eshki is already built to maximize.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern not legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Will of the Temur does its best work — the singleton format rewards flexible, high-ceiling effects, and copying your own spell while redirecting the original is exactly the kind of tempo play that swings a multiplayer game. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but faces stiff competition from cheaper, faster copy effects that don't ask for as much mana. Oathbreaker is a reasonable home if your signature spell is worth copying twice, though the smaller deck size and lower life totals compress the window where Will of the Temur is live.

Price Context

Current price

$2.14 cheap tier

At $2.14, Will of the Temur sits firmly in budget territory for a card that sees play in over 55% of its most natural commander's decks. That price is likely to hold — it's not a casual throw-in, but its demand is specific enough that it won't spike dramatically outside a breakout combo discovery.
