Why Play Concordant Crossroads

At just one mana, this enchantment enables explosive creature-based strategies by removing summoning sickness from all creatures on the battlefield. Aggressive decks benefit from immediately attacking with freshly played threats, while combo decks use it to activate creature abilities the turn they're played. The symmetrical effect can be a drawback, but proactive strategies that deploy threats first typically gain more advantage than opponents who are reacting.

Format Notes

Concordant Crossroads sees most play in Commander, where its low cost and universal effect make it a staple in creature-combo and aggressive multiplayer decks. In Legacy, it appears in fringe combo strategies that need immediate access to creature abilities. The card has never been banned despite its power level, largely because the symmetrical nature provides built-in balance that prevents oppressive gameplay patterns.

Combos & Synergies

Creature-based infinite combos rely heavily on Concordant Crossroads to function immediately upon assembly. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker creates hasty token copies that can attack or use abilities right away, while Craterhoof Behemoth can lead lethal attacks the turn it enters play. The enchantment also enables turn-one plays with mana creatures like Birds of Paradise, allowing them to produce mana immediately for explosive follow-up turns.
