Atarka Beastbreaker is a two-mana 2/2 that can pump itself to 4/4 with trample for four mana — reasonable stats, forgettable ceiling. It does nothing without mana investment and leaves the board the moment that investment looks better spent elsewhere.

Atarka Beastbreaker is a Pauper-legal common, and that's the only format where it has any realistic argument — aggressive green stompy decks occasionally want cheap bodies that threaten to grow. In Commander, a vanilla-adjacent two-drop that needs four more mana to become a 4/4 with trample doesn't compete with the threats available at every point on the curve. Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage have long since moved past what Atarka Beastbreaker can offer.
