Witchstalker Frenzy deals damage equal to a spell's power to each creature and planeswalker an opponent controls — a mass removal spell stapled to your combat-oriented instants and sorceries. Imodane, the Pyrohammer turns that damage into a direct kill condition on players, making this one of the clearest includes in that deck.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Imodane, the Pyrohammer
Imodane, the Pyrohammer copies Witchstalker Frenzy's damage to each opponent whenever a single-target spell triggers her ability, so a high-power spell wipes the board and drains the table simultaneously — that's the whole engine in one card.

In Commander, Witchstalker Frenzy is a role-player rather than a staple — it earns its slot specifically in Imodane, the Pyrohammer and similar spellslinger shells that care about spell power rather than generic burn. In competitive 1v1 formats like Modern and Pioneer, the effect is too narrow: paying three mana to deal variable damage to a board of creatures loses to faster, more reliable sweepers. Legacy and Vintage ignore it entirely — the powered environments demand more efficiency than Witchstalker Frenzy can offer. Standard is where it has the most open opportunity if a synergistic shell emerges, but without an Imodane-style enabler in the format, it remains a draft-table card at best.

Price Context
Current price
$0.28 bulk tier
At $0.28, Witchstalker Frenzy sits firmly in bulk territory — it's a pickup-by-the-handful card with no financial risk. Copies are abundant and demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to move unless a dedicated Imodane-style commander shell pushes significant volume.
