Bartizan Bats is a four-mana 2/3 flyer with lifelink — passable stats, no text beyond that. It sees play almost exclusively in dedicated life-gain synergy shells where every point of life gained triggers something else, and even there it's competing against cheaper lifelink options.

Bartizan Bats is bulk filler in every format it's legal in. Pauper is the only context where a 2/3 flyer with lifelink at four mana is marginally discussable, and even there the card doesn't see meaningful play. In Commander, Bartizan Bats is a background role-player at best — life-gain commanders like Oloro, Ageless Ascetic or Karlov of the Ghost Council have far more efficient lifelink creatures to choose from, and the Bats rarely make the final 99.
