Abundant Maw enters, drains an opponent for 3 life and nets you 3 — six total life swing on a 6/4 body for seven mana. The cost is real, but in Commander, that life swing can matter and the body closes games; the problem is that seven mana for a one-shot drain with no evasion is simply outclassed by almost everything else at that cost.

In Commander, Abundant Maw finds its clearest home in Eldrazi-themed decks or emerge shells where its Eldrazi type and emerge cost let you sacrifice a smaller creature to cheat it out well under seven mana. Outside of emerge synergies, it competes poorly against other seven-drop finishers. In Pauper it's a legal option but too slow and too costly for any realistic aggressive or midrange build. Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Pioneer are all too fast for Abundant Maw to matter — emerge is the only context that makes it worth the slot.
