Methodology

How this list is built

The candidate pool is every Commander-legal card carrying Scryfall's ramp oracle tag with a mono-green color identity. That covers land ramp, mana rocks and creatures, rituals and cost reduction, minus cards whose only mana effect is to hand a land to an opponent, which are removal spells. Multicolor cards are excluded on purpose: a green ramp card should go in any green deck. Each card is counted across every non-archived tracked deck whose mainboard contains it, and the list is ordered by that count.

Most ramp cards do not measurably change whether you win. We compare decks that run a card against decks on the same commander that do not, pool those matched comparisons, and ask whether the difference is bigger than chance; only a handful of cards clear that bar. Ordering a list by a number whose confidence interval crosses zero for most of its rows would be ranking sampling error, so the list is ordered by deck count instead and the measurement rides alongside.

A win-rate lift appears beside a card only when it has been played enough to judge and its measured effect is clearly positive: minimums on games with the card, on separate commander groups and on distinct pilots, a cap on how much of the sample any one pilot may hold, and an interval landing entirely above zero. A card that was measured and came out flat gets an empty cell rather than a number near zero, because a number near zero reads as a verdict and this one is not.

Read that figure as a difference, not a multiplier. A +2.2% lift means a deck running the card wins 2.2 percentage points more often than decks on the same commander without it: 27.2% of its games rather than 25.0%. It is not a 2.2% relative increase, and it is not a claim that the card wins 2.2% of your games on its own.

Counts are drawn from 146,944 tracked decks on Playgroup.gg.

Green ramp FAQ

What is ramp in Magic: The Gathering?
Ramp is any card that gets you more mana than the one land you are allowed to play each turn. It covers lands that fetch other lands, artifacts that tap for mana, creatures that do the same, rituals that give you a burst of mana for a single turn, and effects that make your spells cheaper. The name comes from ramping up: spend a card early to spend more mana later. In Commander it matters more than in shorter formats, because the games are long enough for that investment to pay off several times over.
Which color has the best ramp?
Green, and it is not close. Green ramps by putting extra lands onto the battlefield, which is permanent, hard to punish and available from turn two. Cultivate, Rampant Growth and Farseek are the cards every other color gets measured against. Black ramps through rituals and sacrifice, red makes treasure tokens for one explosive turn, white taxes its opponents rather than fetching anything, and blue mostly cheats on cost instead of adding mana. Colorless mana rocks are open to every deck, which is why Sol Ring is the most-run ramp card in Commander by a wide margin.
Are mana rocks the same thing as ramp?
Mana rocks are one kind of ramp. A rock is an artifact that taps for mana, like Sol Ring or Arcane Signet, and because artifacts are colorless almost every deck can play them. That is why the colorless list here is the one every color shares. The alternative is land ramp, which puts real lands onto the battlefield instead, and it survives a board wipe that would kill your rocks.
What counts as land ramp?
Land ramp is any card that puts an extra land onto the battlefield, rather than giving you a mana ability on a spell or an artifact. Cultivate, Rampant Growth, Farseek and Three Visits are the ones people mean, and they are counted on these lists like any other ramp. They are almost all green, which is why green's list reads as sorceries where every other color reaches for artifacts. Cards that give a land to an opponent instead of you, like Path to Exile, are removal spells and are excluded.
Why are there no multicolor ramp cards on this list?
Every list here is mono-colored on purpose. A mono-green ramp spell goes in any deck whose color identity includes green, while a two or three color ramp spell only fits decks in those exact colors. Restricting each list to a single color identity means every card on it is playable in every deck that can cast that color, which is usually what people are asking for when they search for green ramp.
Why is green's ramp mostly land searching?
Because lands are green's part of the color pie, so extra lands are what green is allowed to fetch. Cultivate and Kodama's Reach find two of them, Rampant Growth and Three Visits find one cheaply, and Farseek reaches for a dual. Land ramp is the most durable kind there is: a board wipe kills everyone's mana rocks and mana creatures and leaves your lands alone. The trade is that you spend a card and some mana early for a land that nothing short of land destruction takes away.
Why does this list look different from other ramp lists?
Most ramp lists are one writer's ranking. This one is counted. Every card here carries Scryfall's ramp tag, ordered by how many tracked Commander decks actually run it, so the list reflects what players sleeve up rather than what an editor rates. We also measure whether each card raises a deck's win rate against decks running the same commander without it, and only the few that clearly do carry a win-rate figure.
