Arahbo, Roar of the World
Legendary Creature — Cat Avatar
Eminence — At the beginning of combat on your turn, if Arahbo is in the command zone or on the battlefield, another target Cat you control gets +3/+3 until end of turn.
Whenever another Cat you control attacks, you may pay 
. If you do, it gains trample and gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is its power.

Arahbo, Roar of the World pumps a Cat for +3/+3 every combat for free — no mana, no activation, just an Eminence trigger that fires from the command zone before you've spent a single resource. The cost is that the second ability, which grants trample and additional power equal to a Cat's power, requires three mana and actually getting Arahbo into play; most builds treat the Eminence trigger as the engine and Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist as the in-zone threat.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist
Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist is a natural partner for Arahbo, Roar of the World because Mirri's attack restriction locks opponents to one blocker while Arahbo's Eminence trigger makes any Cat threatening enough to demand an answer — one Cat swings, Mirri taxes, the rest connect unopposed.
Rin and Seri, Inseparable
Rin and Seri, Inseparable generates token payoffs that scale with raw Cat volume, and Arahbo, Roar of the World turns each of those tokens into a meaningful combat threat rather than a chump-blocker, giving the deck both width and per-Cat power.

Commander is the only format where Arahbo, Roar of the World is doing real work — the Eminence ability was designed for the 99-versus-command-zone dynamic that only exists in EDH, and the Cat tribal payoff lines up with a wide, creature-dense strategy that thrives at the multiplayer table. In Legacy and Vintage, five mana for a 5/5 with no immediate board impact on resolution is nowhere near efficient enough, and Cat tribal has no competitive infrastructure in those formats anyway. Oathbreaker is legal but largely academic; Arahbo, Roar of the World wants a battlefield of Cats to reward, and Oathbreaker's 60-card singleton construction makes consistent tribal density harder to achieve.
