Broodmate Dragon lands as two 4/4 flying bodies for six mana — that's eight power in the air the turn it resolves. The rate is fair, not broken, and at six mana you're competing with dragons that either cost less or do more.

In Commander, Broodmate Dragon is a passable role-player in dragon tribal decks but rarely a priority slot — the format's card quality is high enough that six mana usually buys something with a bigger individual impact. Modern and Legacy have access to it, but neither format rewards a vanilla-adjacent six-drop with no enters-the-battlefield effect beyond a token; it sees essentially zero competitive play there. Commander is the only realistic home, specifically in Grixis, Jund, or five-color dragon shells where the redundancy of two bodies on one card has incremental value.
