Why Play Mulldrifter
Few cards offer such flexible value as this elemental. Control decks love the raw card advantage when cast for full cost, getting a 2/2 flying body plus two cards for five mana. When you need immediate card selection or are behind on board, evoke provides incredible efficiency at three mana for two fresh cards. The flying body also serves as a reasonable clock or blocker in tempo matchups where every point of damage matters.Format Notes
Pauper represents the strongest home for this versatile threat, appearing in numerous blue-based control and midrange strategies where card advantage reigns supreme. Legacy occasionally sees play in slower blue decks, though competition from more powerful card draw spells limits adoption. Commander players embrace the flexibility, particularly in casual metas where incremental advantage matters more than explosive plays. The card remains unbanned across all formats due to its fair power level.Combos & Synergies
Flicker effects like Ephemerate create incredible value engines, allowing you to evoke for cheap card draw then return the creature permanently to battlefield. Panharmonicon doubles the enters-the-battlefield trigger for four cards when cast normally. Sacrifice outlets such as Viscera Seer let you extract maximum value by controlling when an evoked copy dies, potentially setting up graveyard synergies or simply ensuring you get the cards before removal hits.Featured in These Decks
