Aphemia, the Cacophony turns enchantments in your graveyard into a 2/2 Zombie token at the start of each end step — free, recurring board presence that scales with every enchantment you discard, mill, or sacrifice. The cost is a two-mana 2/1 flier, which means the body is nearly irrelevant and the token engine is the entire reason to run her.

Commander is where Aphemia, the Cacophony does real work — enchantress shells and Dimir or Orzhov graveyard decks treat her as a low-cost token factory that never stops producing as long as enchantments keep hitting the yard. In Pioneer and Modern she's legal but fringe; the Zombie token output is too slow for those formats unless you're already running a dedicated enchantment-graveyard package, which rarely materializes competitively. Legacy and Vintage have the raw power to enable her faster, but she's still a niche roleplayer there rather than a staple.
