Auriok Replica

Auriok Replica sees essentially no competitive play in Legacy, Vintage, or Modern — three mana for a conditional protection ability is too slow and narrow when those formats have access to countermagic and efficient removal. In Pauper it's at least legal and artifact synergies exist, but the effect rarely justifies the slot over cheaper interaction. Commander is where it gets the most consideration, specifically in artifact-heavy white decks that want bodies and can recur or flicker it to reset the sacrifice; even there it's a niche include. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander at a smaller table, which only sharpens the question of whether this rate is acceptable.
