Why is this card good?
Opal Palace is a niche-but-thematic land that does one specific job: pumping your commander as a payoff for the command zone tax cycle. Each time you've cast your commander before, it comes back bigger — so the more your commander dies and recasts, the more counters it accumulates.
Where it shines:
- +1/+1 counter commanders that get value off being big (e.g., voltron, trample beatdown, or counter-synergy decks).
- Commanders that die repeatedly and want to scale — turning the recast tax into an upside instead of a drawback.
The catches:
- The colored mana costs an extra and is locked to your commander's identity, so as a mana source it's strictly worse than a basic most of the time.
- It only matters if you actually cast the commander with this land, and only after multiple recasts — so it's slow and conditional.
Skip it in spellslinger, aristocrats, or any deck where the commander isn't a combat threat. It's a cute build-around, not a staple.

The "number of times it's been cast from the command zone" includes the most recent time. For example, the first time you cast your commander from the command zone in a game, if you spent mana from Opal Palace's last ability to do so, it will enter the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter.
