Why Play Skyshroud Claim
Ramp strategies that need to accelerate from four mana to six mana quickly find this spell invaluable, as it provides two lands in one card while thinning your deck. Green midrange and big mana decks use it to power out expensive threats like Primeval Titan or planeswalkers ahead of schedule. The key timing is playing this on turn four to enable six-mana plays on turn five, or using it in the mid-game to fix mana issues while ramping into your top-end threats.Format Notes
Commander represents the primary home for Skyshroud Claim, where the slower pace and higher mana costs make four-mana ramp spells viable and the dual land acceleration particularly valuable. Pauper decks occasionally run it in heavy green strategies that need to reach expensive win conditions. Legacy and Vintage see minimal play due to the format speed, though some fringe big mana strategies have experimented with it.Combos & Synergies
Dual lands with the Forest subtype like Breeding Pool and Temple Garden make this significantly more powerful by fixing your mana base while ramping. Landfall creatures such as Avenger of Zendikar create explosive turns when combined with the two-land drop. Early game accelerants like Llanowar Elves and Rampant Growth help ensure you can cast this on turn three, maximizing its impact on your development curve.Featured in These Decks
