Armored Pegasus is a 1/3 flying defender for two mana — passable stats for blocking, unremarkable for attacking. The only context where it earns a slot is Thurid, Mare of Destiny, where flying creature count is a direct resource.

Thurid, Mare of Destiny
Thurid, Mare of Destiny cares about the number of flying creatures you control, making Armored Pegasus a cheap, durable body that advances the engine rather than just filling a curve slot.

In Commander, Armored Pegasus is narrow — it shows up almost exclusively in Thurid, Mare of Destiny builds that need critical mass of flyers at a low price point. Pauper is the format where it has the most theoretical play, as a two-mana 1/3 flyer clears the commons bar, though dedicated aggro decks there want more offensive upside. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant — Armored Pegasus has never been close to those power levels. Outside of Thurid lists, there is no competitive home for it in any format.
