Cathar's Call turns any creature-land or persistent threat into an ongoing token factory — one enchantment, infinite 1/1s as long as the creature breathes. Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ runs it in over 60% of decks because every token enters the battlefield and triggers his broadcast engine immediately.

Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ's ability fires on each creature entering, so Cathar's Call stapled to any creature becomes a repeatable broadcast trigger every turn — 60% inclusion rate is the deck recognizing a core piece.
Silvar, Devourer of the Free // Trynn, Champion of Freedom
Trynn, Champion of Freedom creates a Human token on each end step you attacked with a Human, and Cathar's Call doubles down by generating an additional token off whatever creature you're already enchanting, accelerating the board Silvar, Devourer of the Free needs to feed on.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Cathar's Call is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's effectively a Commander card — three mana for a slow, enchantment-dependent token drip doesn't move fast enough for competitive 60-card formats where opponents close games before the second or third token appears. In Commander it earns its slot in token-multiplication shells, aristocrats, and any deck running a commander that cares about creatures entering the battlefield. The three-mana enchant cost is real, but the payoff is a permanent, removal-resistant (in the sense that you must answer the enchanted creature, not the enchantment) token engine that scales with how long the game runs.
