6% of tracked Commander decks run Disciple of Freyalise, and when it resolves, decks win 33% of the time versus 24% when it stays buried in the library.

Disciple of Freyalise is a double-faced card from Modern Horizons 3: a 6-mana Elf Druid on the front and a utility land on the back. Across 851 tracked multiplayer Commander games, 6% of decks in the dataset include it, a focused niche rather than a broad staple.

The clearest signal in the data is win rate. Games where Disciple of Freyalise reached the battlefield ended in a win for that player 33% of the time, compared to 24% when the card never left the library. That +8.7 percentage-point gap is directional but note that the lower bound of its confidence interval sits near zero, so treat it as an early signal rather than a settled conclusion. Median first cast lands on turn 6, consistent with a card that comes down after the early ramp phase is already resolved.

The commander distribution is well-spread across 398 distinct players, with green-heavy stompy and big-creature strategies dominating the top slots. The card fits naturally anywhere that wants to reach large mana values quickly or needs a land that does work late.

≥ +0.6pp

Players who cast this card win 33% of the time (n=130) , vs 24% when it never left the library (n=556).

When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 29% (n=91) — about the same as leaving it in the library. Those players survived long enough to draw it, so the gap above is about the card resolving, not just about surviving.

Observed gap +8.7pp; 95% confidence interval +0.6pp to +16.8pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.

Frequently Asked

How often is Disciple of Freyalise drawn in a Commander game?

Across 851 tracked games where the card was in the deck, it was drawn 26% of the time. That reflects normal singleton variance in a 100-card deck. Of 234 instances that reached a player's hand, 59% were cast before the game ended. The remainder largely reflects games that concluded before the player could untap and cast a 6-mana spell.

What turn does Disciple of Freyalise usually get cast?

Median first-cast turn is 6, with the distribution running from as early as turn 1 (likely via heavy ramp) out to turn 19 at the extreme. The interquartile range sits between turns 4 and 8, meaning most casts happen in the mid-game window after players have assembled meaningful mana. Of 139 total casts, a notable share landed ahead of the nominal curve, consistent with green ramp strategies that accelerate into big threats.

Does casting Disciple of Freyalise actually improve your win chances?

In 130 participations where the card reached the battlefield, the normalized win rate was 33%. In 556 participations where it stayed in the library, the rate was 24%. The +8.7 pp gap is a consistent directional signal, but the confidence interval's lower bound dips near zero in this dataset. Read it as encouraging early evidence, not a proven causal claim.

Is Disciple of Freyalise legal in Commander?

Yes. Disciple of Freyalise // Garden of Freyalise is legal in Commander, as well as Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Historic, Timeless, Duel Commander, Brawl, Gladiator, Oathbreaker, and Competitive Brawl. It is not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Pauper, or Pauper Commander.

Which commanders most often run Disciple of Freyalise?

Across tracked decks, Betor, Ancestor's Voice leads with 16 decks, followed by Etali, Primal Conqueror at 12 and Henzie "Toolbox" Torre at 9. Ghalta, Primal Hunger, Helga, Skittish Seer, and Kona, Rescue Beastie round out the top slots. The spread skews toward green-heavy strategies that ramp into large permanents or reward creature density.

How concentrated is this card among a small group of players?

Data for Disciple of Freyalise comes from 398 distinct players, and no single player accounts for more than a small fraction of tracked instances. That spread is a genuine strength of this dataset: the card's numbers are not being skewed by one or two enthusiastic pilots running it repeatedly.
