Is Windgrace's Judgment good in Commander?

Windgrace's Judgment in Commander — Combos, Decks & Price

Windgrace's Judgment hits up to three nonland permanents at instant speed — the kind of flexible, multiplayer-scaled removal that wins actual board states. Five mana is the real cost, and in black-green-red shells that cost is routine by the time this matters.

Commanders with the highest synergy

01

Hazel of the Rootbloom

46.8% of decks · synergy 0.42

Hazel of the Rootbloom copies instants and sorceries whenever you cast them with excess mana, which means Windgrace's Judgment routinely clears six permanents off a single cast — a near-table wipe at instant speed for one card.

02

Hearthhull, the Worldseed

40.2% of decks · synergy 0.32

Hearthhull, the Worldseed cares about hitting multiple opponents and generating value from multicolored spells, and Windgrace's Judgment delivers both: it's Jund-colored, hits across the table, and clears the path for Hearthhull's board pressure.

03

Szarel, Genesis Shepherd

33.5% of decks · synergy 0.26

Szarel, Genesis Shepherd wants to recur instants and sorceries from the graveyard, and Windgrace's Judgment is exactly the kind of high-impact spell worth looping — blow it once to reset a board, then get it back to threaten the same play again.

04

Lord Windgrace

32.2% of decks · synergy 0.24

Lord Windgrace is the namesake, and Windgrace's Judgment is a thematic staple that earns its slot on mechanical grounds: Jund lands-matter decks naturally hit five mana early, and the instant-speed three-for-one is the kind of catch-all Lord Windgrace shells want to answer go-wide threats.

05

Witherbloom, the Balancer

18.5% of decks · synergy 0.14

Witherbloom, the Balancer rewards casting multicolored spells and interacting with opponents' resources, making Windgrace's Judgment a clean fit — it's on-color, addresses multiple threats simultaneously, and feeds the life-drain patterns Witherbloom builds around.

Windgrace's Judgment is built for Commander and barely registers anywhere else. The three-target clause is a multiplayer mechanic — in Legacy or Vintage, five mana for removal that can only hit one target in a two-player game is nowhere near rate. Commander is where the math flips: three opponents means three potential targets, and instant speed means it doubles as a combat trick or a response to someone's combo setup. Oathbreaker is the only other format where the multiplayer scaling matters, and it's legal there too.
