Why Play Last March of the Ents

Eight mana is a significant investment, but the uncounterable clause and explosive payoff make this a powerful top-end threat in creature-heavy strategies. The card shines in decks built around high-toughness creatures, where drawing 5+ cards and potentially dumping your entire hand onto the battlefield creates overwhelming board presence. Play this when you're behind on cards but have established a single large creature, or when you're ahead and want to close out the game immediately.

Format Notes

Commander is where this card truly excels, fitting perfectly into green ramp strategies and creature-based decks that can reliably produce the mana and high-toughness creatures needed. In competitive formats like Modern and Legacy, the high mana cost limits its viability to fringe ramp strategies or Show and Tell effects. Historic sees occasional play in Arena's best-of-one queues where the explosive potential can steal games.

Combos & Synergies

Colossification turns any creature into a massive card draw engine while enabling a devastating follow-up turn. Cultivator Colossus pairs naturally, providing the high toughness for card draw while potentially ramping into casting Last March of the Ents the following turn. Cards like Wrecking Beast and other high-toughness, low-cost creatures maximize the card draw potential while keeping your curve manageable.
