Champion of the Clachan enters swinging — it pumps your entire team the turn it lands, which on a Changeling means every creature type benefits simultaneously. The three-mana cost is honest for that kind of board impact, and Brigid, Clachan's Heart decks run it at a 42% clip because the tribal overlap is essentially free value.

Champion of the Clachan is a Commander card almost exclusively — the Changeling payoff requires a critical mass of tribal synergies that only a 100-card singleton format reliably supports. In Modern or Pioneer it's too slow and too narrow without a dedicated Changeling shell, which hasn't been competitively viable. Legacy has better anthem effects at the same cost. Stick to Commander, specifically any deck where Changeling's universal creature type does real work.
