Covetous Castaway // Ghostly Castigator is a self-mill engine that flips into a 3/3 flying spirit with a punishing discard trigger — relevant bodies on both sides of the transform. The front side asks you to discard, but at two mana with an immediate loot, the cost is a feature in graveyard strategies rather than a drawback.

Commander is where Covetous Castaway // Ghostly Castigator does its best work — discard-matters and graveyard commanders want exactly this kind of cheap, repeatable self-mill that also becomes a threat. In Modern and Pioneer, it competes against a dense field of two-drop value creatures and only earns a slot in dedicated discard or spirit shells. Legacy and Vintage have the card pool to ignore it entirely. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander read: if your planeswalker leans on the graveyard, Ghostly Castigator's forced discard trigger is real pressure in a two-player context.
