Bell Borca, Spectral Sergeant swings as a creature whose power equals the highest mana value among cards exiled by its triggered ability — so in a deck stocked with high-CMC spells, it regularly hits as a 7/4 or larger with indestructible. The ask is a four-mana legendary that does nothing the turn it enters and depends entirely on what you're exiling, which is a real cost.

Bell Borca, Spectral Sergeant is a Commander card through and through — the format's singleton density of high-CMC spells and the long game give the exile trigger time to actually matter. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but wholly outclassed; a four-mana 1/4 that needs setup to become a threat has no business in those formats. Commander is where the indestructible body and the scaling power line up correctly, particularly in Boros decks that want a repeatable threat without committing to a combo.
