Kozilek's Command
Kozilek's Command is an X cost instant that rewards flexible play and late game power. Cast it to shape the board with two of four options, each scaling with the value you invest. You may create X 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn tokens whose life is brief but whose sacrifice fuels your mana. You might also pressure an opponent by forcing them to sacrifice X, then draw a card yourself. The remaining modes offer targeted removal by exiling a creature with mana value X or less and the ability to purge up to X cards from a graveyard. Across these choices, the card rewards careful timing and a measured commitment to the X you pay, letting you adapt to whatever the match throws at you. In play, Kozilek’s Command often feels like a tested plan B that can swing tempo or stall an opposing engine when you need to buy time.
This near mint foil captures the Eldrazi menace with a striking finish that sharpens the visual impact at the table. In Modern Horizons 3, the command fits into decks that lean on ramp, graveyard interaction, and big X-cost plays, offering reliable options even when you’re short on one line of defense or offense. The card’s versatility is its strength, letting you pivot as the board state shifts while you build toward a decisive moment when the Eldrazi hunger truly awakens.
