Wulfgar of Icewind Dale card art
Wulfgar of Icewind Dale doubles every attack trigger your creatures have — not copies the attack, doubles the trigger — which turns cards like Hellkite Charger into infinite combat engines and Roxanne, Starfall Savant into a mana avalanche on the first swing. The cost is five mana and a 4/4 body that dies to most removal, but the payoff when he sticks is immediate and game-warping.

Roxanne, Starfall Savant

Roxanne, Starfall Savant

53.0% of decks · synergy 0.49

Roxanne, Starfall Savant's attack trigger creates a Treasure and ramps based on the result — Wulfgar of Icewind Dale doubles that trigger, so every swing produces two Treasures and two acceleration effects, turning a single combat step into a resource explosion.

02
Tifa, Martial Artist

Tifa, Martial Artist

42.2% of decks · synergy 0.41

Tifa, Martial Artist cares about stacking combat damage and escalating through her limit break counters — Wulfgar of Icewind Dale doubles her attack triggers, accelerating the counter accumulation and letting her reach devastating threshold levels in far fewer swings.

03
Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire

Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire

42.0% of decks · synergy 0.40

Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire sacrifices a permanent and forces opponents to sacrifice and replace theirs on attack — Wulfgar of Icewind Dale fires that trigger twice, meaning two sacrifices, two forced opponent sacrifices, and two new battlefield entries from a single attack.

38.8% of decks · synergy 0.34

Jolene, the Plunder Queen cares about Treasures entering and attacks triggering Treasure production — Wulfgar of Icewind Dale doubles her attack trigger, generating twice the Treasures per swing and compounding the engine that Jolene's whole gameplan is built around.

Wulfgar of Icewind Dale is a Commander card through and through — the attack-trigger doubling only becomes broken when you're building a whole deck around it, which is exactly what Commander facilitates. In Legacy and Vintage he's technically legal but competes against the most efficient threats and interaction in the game at five mana, and no one is sleeving him up there. Oathbreaker gives him a narrower home if your signature spell fuels attack triggers, but the 60-card formats where he's legal don't give him the room to operate. Commander is where Wulfgar of Icewind Dale is actually dangerous.
