Doubling damage is cool, but you know what really takes things to the next level? Tripling it. There are cards in Magic that don’t just give you more—they give you three times the value. That means more damage, more tokens, more spells, and way more fun. This list breaks down all the triple effects in Magic: The Gathering and shows you how they can swing the game in your favor.

Let’s dive into them.

What Are Tripling Effects in MTG?

Tripling effects in Magic: The Gathering are abilities or cards that make an action happen three times instead of once. This can include dealing triple damage, creating three times as many tokens, or copying spells twice for a total of three casts. These effects often use phrases like “three times,” “triple,” or “copy twice.” They’re powerful because they dramatically increase value, turning a single action into a massive advantage.

#20. Tifa's Limit Break

Tifa's Limit Break gives you three escalating power-up options, and the final tier is pure muscle: Triple a creature’s power and toughness until end of turn. It starts cheap, and you can stack the additional costs for a customizable pump spell. It’s great in any green aggro deck, especially when targeting a trampler like Steel Leaf Champion or even Old Gnawbone for massive impact.

#19. Chandra, Pyromaster

Chandra, Pyromaster might look like your average planeswalker at first, but its ultimate gets wild. When you hit that −7 ability, you exile the top 10 cards of your deck and pick an instant or sorcery among them to copy three times—yes, three! Pair Chandra with big flashy spells like Expropriate or Time Warp for absurd value. If you like explosive turns that end the game out of nowhere, Chandra has your back.

#18. Complete the Circuit

Complete the Circuit is a spellcaster’s dream. It not only lets you cast your sorceries like instants, but also sets up a massive play: The next instant or sorcery you cast gets copied twice. That’s three versions of one spell! Imagine casting Treasure Cruise or Chaos Warp three times in a row. And since it has convoke, your creatures can help pay for it too, making it a great fit in token-heavy blue decks.

#17. Echo Mage

Echo Mage levels up into one of the scariest copy engines out there. Once you hit level 4, it can copy any instant or sorcery spell twice with just a tap. That means your Counterspell becomes triple protection, or your Cultivate grabs six lands. It’s a slow build, but in the right control deck, Echo Mage rewards patience with some major spell-slinging power.

#16. Increasing Vengeance

Increasing Vengeance starts off as a solid copy spell, letting you duplicate an instant or sorcery you control. But it really shines in the graveyard. Thanks to flashback, you can cast it again later—and this time, it copies the spell twice instead. It’s a perfect fit for decks that like casting spells multiple times, like Niv-Mizzet, Parun or Kess, Dissident Mage.

#15. Jaya, Fiery Negotiator

You’re playing the long game with Jaya, Fiery Negotiator. Its −8 ultimate gives you an emblem that copies every red instant or sorcery twice. That turns burn spells like Lightning Bolt into 9 damage, and Seize the Storm into an instant army. While it takes time to build up to the emblem, it’s a game-ending reward for spell-slinging red decks.

#14. Repeated Reverberation

Repeated Reverberation is one of those flashy red instants that makes your next move feel like a mic drop. Whether you're casting an instant, a sorcery, or activating a planeswalker’s loyalty ability, it gets copied twice. Drop this before a powerful spell like Expropriate or a loyalty activation from Chandra, Torch of Defiance, and you get three times the value in one explosive turn.

#13. Sea Gate Stormcaller

Sea Gate Stormcaller looks small but can cause a massive chain reaction. When it enters the battlefield, your next spell with mana value 2 or less gets copied. If you kicked it, that spell gets copied twice instead.

That means things like Brainstorm, Shock, or Swords to Plowshares suddenly go from efficient to absurd. It’s a great tempo play or value engine in blue spell decks.

#12. Summon: G.F. Cerberus

Summon: G.F. Cerberus is a saga that builds up to pure chaos. The first two lore counters are fine, but that third one—Triple—is where it gets wild. Your next instant or sorcery gets copied twice, making for a total of three casts. It’s fantastic if you time it right with big spells like Time Warp or Crackle with Power. A little setup, and Cerberus becomes a triple-headed wrecking machine.

#11. Tomb of Horrors Adventurer

Tomb of Horrors Adventurer is sneaky powerful in a spell-heavy deck. When you cast your second spell each turn, it gets copied. But if you've completed a dungeon, you get two copies instead. That means you’re casting one spell and getting three versions. It’s especially fun with low-cost spells like Opt or Consider, and adds huge value in a dungeon-crawling adventure deck.

#10. Mnemonic Deluge

You cast Mnemonic Deluge when you want to win the game in the flashiest way possible. You exile an instant or sorcery from any graveyard—yours or your opponent’s—and then you copy it three times for free. It’s insanely powerful with things like Time Stretch, Emergent Ultimatum (that's in the graveyard somehow), or even a humble Path to Exile if you’re feeling practical. This is a proper finisher in any big-mana deck.

#9. Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation / Temple of Civilization

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation is a powerhouse token doubler—actually, make that a tripler. Whenever you’d create creature tokens, this mythic god gives you three times as many.

That means one Raise the Alarm becomes six 1/1s, and Avenger of Zendikar basically floods the board. It’s perfect for token decks like Mondrak, Glory Dominus or Rhys the Redeemed, and it even comes back as a land if destroyed!

#8. Nyxbloom Ancient

If ramp is your game, then Nyxbloom Ancient is your triple-mana MVP. Every permanent you tap for mana gives you three times as much instead. That means your Sol Ring taps for 6, and even a simple Forest taps for 3. It makes casting massive spells or X-spells a breeze. Just be careful—you’ll become public enemy #1 fast.

#7. Myojin of Cryptic Dreams

Myojin of Cryptic Dreams is a strange and powerful spirit with a crazy upside. If you cast it from your hand, it gets an indestructible counter. You can remove that counter to copy any permanent spell you control three times—yes, you read that right. Copying a Consecrated Sphinx or even a Agent of Treachery three times? That’s game-altering. It's a dream in any blue value deck, especially ones that play big artifacts or creatures with solid ETB effects.

#6. Rootwire Amalgam

Rootwire Amalgam is a quiet threat that explodes when you need it to. You can sacrifice it to create a token with three times its power—so if you cast the full 5/5 version, that’s a 15/15 with haste. It’s a one-shot finisher that fits perfectly in artifact decks, prototype decks, or anything running Doubling Season for even sillier numbers.

#5. Virtue of Strength

Virtue of Strength is a huge enchantment that triples the mana you get from tapping basic lands. It's especially great in mono-green or land-heavy ramp decks that already go big with Zendikar Resurgent or Genesis Hydra. As a bonus, its adventure lets you get back a creature or land, smoothing out your early plays while setting up your big mana later.

#4. City on Fire

With City on Fire, everything burns brighter. It gives you a static effect that triples the damage any source you control would deal. Suddenly, your Lightning Bolt deals 9, and your 1/1 tokens hit for 3 each. It has convoke too, making it a good fit in go-wide red decks. Stack it with Torbran, Thane of Red Fell for hilarious overkill damage.

#3. Fiery Emancipation

Fiery Emancipation is another triple-damage enchantment that doesn’t hold back. If any of your sources deal damage—combat, burn spells, pings—they now deal triple. That means Shock becomes 6 damage and even a poke from Prodigal Pyromancer becomes 3. It’s brutal in mono-red decks and a terrifying top-end for any damage-based strategy. Pair with Chandra's Ignition for maximum carnage.

#2. Isengard Unleashed

Isengard Unleashed is pure destruction for red decks. It makes damage unpreventable and then triples any damage your sources would deal to opponents or their stuff. Whether it’s combat, spells, or pings—everything hits like a truck. And with flashback, you can do it again! Pair it with Goblin Bombardment or Impact Tremors and laugh as even your smallest token becomes a lethal threat.

#1. Jeska, Thrice Reborn

Jeska, Thrice Reborn is all about finishing the job. Its -0 ability turns any creature into a triple-damage monster until your next turn—making it a perfect partner for commanders with big power or evasion. Jeska enters with loyalty equal to how many times you've cast a commander, which makes it even better in partner decks. Pair Jeska with Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh or Kodama of the East Tree for aggressive or value plays.

How Do Damage Triplers Interact with Other Damage Doublers?

Damage triplers and doublers stack multiplicatively. That means if you control both a damage doubler like Furnace of Rath, and a tripler like Fiery Emancipation, the result gets multiplied together.

For example, if a source you control would deal 1 damage and you have both effects in play, it deals 6 damage. Add more doublers or triplers, and the math escalates fast.

Remember that the person or controller of the object being dealt damage controls the order of the replacement effects, though this doesn't matter with strictly multiplicative damage.

Do Mana Triples Stack? How About Token Triplers?

Yes, mana tripling effects do stack—and they stack multiplicatively. If you control two cards like Nyxbloom Ancient and Virtue of Strength, each one multiplies the mana output of your lands or permanents by three. So instead of just tripling once, you get nine times the mana. Add a third tripler and you’re at 27 times the original amount. It gets wild fast.

Token multipliers also stack, and the result is multiplicative, just like with mana. If you have Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation and another effect that triples tokens, like Mondrak, Glory Dominus combined with Anointed Procession, each tripler or doubler multiplies the final number of tokens. For example, two token triplers turn one token into nine, and if you add in doublers, it scales even faster.

How Do Power Triples Interact with Other Pump Spells?

Power-tripling effects, like those from Tifa's Limit Break or Jeska, Thrice Reborn, multiply a creature’s current power. When combined with other pump spells—like Giant Growth or Invigorate—they scale based on the boosted stats at the time the tripling effect resolves.

For example, if you give a 3/3 creature +3/+3 to make it a 6/6, then triple its power, it becomes an 18/6. That’s because the tripling effect multiplies the total power, not just the base. If you reverse the order—tripling first, then adding power—you’ll end up with a smaller final number. So for max damage, pump first, then triple!
