Spire of Industry appears in 3% of tracked multiplayer Commander decks, with 72% of drawn copies reaching the battlefield and a median first-cast turn of 4.0.

Spire of Industry is a niche but efficient mana-fixer, showing up in 3% of the 20720 Commander decks that have played a tracked game on Playgroup Live. That modest inclusion rate reflects its conditional design: the colored-mana ability only fires if you control an artifact, which limits it to decks built around that permanent type.

When the card does appear, players act on it quickly. 72% of drawn copies are cast before the game ends, and the median first cast lands on turn 4.0. Of 1460 instances brought to games, 327 were drawn and 236 were cast. Once it resolves, it stays on the battlefield: stickiness sits at 91%, which is expected for a land with no intrinsic vulnerability.

The commander distribution tells the story clearly. Artifact-heavy commanders like Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER, Shorikai, Genesis Engine, Urza, Chief Artificer, and Saheeli, Radiant Creator dominate the top slots. Outside of artifact-centric pods, this land has little reason to appear, and the numbers reflect that selectivity.

≥ -2.8pp

Players who cast this card win 24% of the time (n=224) , vs 21% when it never left the library (n=952).

When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 33% (n=81) — 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 +3.0pp; 95% confidence interval -2.8pp to +8.8pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.

Most Spire of Industry copies end the game on the battlefield, a structural artifact of it being a land with no built-in vulnerability. The small number that finish in the library reflects games where the card was never drawn from a 100-card deck.

Commanders that played this card

in tracked games

The commander list is almost entirely artifact-heavy strategies, which mirrors the card's conditional color-fixing ability. Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER leads by a wide margin, followed by several Jeskai and Esper artifact commanders.

Frequently Asked

How often is Spire of Industry drawn in a Commander game?

Across 1406 tracked multiplayer games where the card was in the deck, Spire of Industry was drawn 22% of the time. That is consistent with a singleton land in a 100-card deck. Of those drawn copies, 72% were cast before the game ended, which is a solid conversion rate for a conditional land.

What turn does Spire of Industry typically hit the table?

The median first-cast turn is 4.0, with the distribution spread fairly evenly from turn 1 through turn 7. The p25 is turn 2 and the p75 is turn 7, reflecting that this card is played when drawn rather than held. The same-turn cast rate sits at 52%, meaning roughly half of all casts happen on the turn the land was drawn.

Which commanders run Spire of Industry most often?

The top commanders are almost all artifact-focused: Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER leads the list, followed by Kilo, Apogee Mind, Inspirit, Flagship Vessel, Shorikai, Genesis Engine, and Urza, Chief Artificer. That pattern is consistent with the card's design. The colored-mana ability requires controlling an artifact, so it slots naturally into shells that are already building around artifacts.

Is Spire of Industry legal in Commander?

Yes. Spire of Industry is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Historic, among other formats. It is not legal in Standard, Pauper, or Pauper Commander. It has no color identity, so it fits in any Commander deck that can make use of its abilities.

Does casting Spire of Industry correlate with winning?

In 224 observed participations where Spire of Industry was cast, the win rate is 24% normalized to a 4-player baseline. Participations where the card stayed in the library show a win rate of 21%. The delta is a directional signal at this sample size, not a conclusive effect, so read it as early data rather than a firm conclusion.

Is the data concentrated around a small group of players?

No. 569 distinct players have brought Spire of Industry to a tracked game, and the single heaviest contributor accounts for 3% of all instances. That spread is a strength of this dataset: the numbers reflect play across a wide community rather than a single prolific contributor skewing the results.
