Casey Jones, Vigilante punishes opponents for attacking each other, generating card advantage every time combat damage is dealt to a player who isn't you — a powerful political effect stapled to a low-cost body. The rate is strong enough that he earns a slot in any deck that wants to reward non-combat-focused opponents or fuel a value engine off the chaos of a four-player table.

Commander is where Casey Jones, Vigilante does his best work — four players means combat is constant, and the card-draw trigger fires off opponents' attacks as readily as your own, turning every aggressive table into a personal draw engine. In 1v1 formats like Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage, the political angle collapses entirely since there's only one opponent, leaving you with a creature whose trigger requires your opponent to attack you specifically, which is a much narrower and less reliable payoff. Standard and Oathbreaker follow the same logic as Commander at smaller table sizes, making him playable but less explosive. Competitive non-rotating formats have zero interest in this effect.
