Dauthi Jackal is a one-mana shadow creature that grows every time an opponent's graveyard is exiled — cheap to deploy, threatening to ignore. It rewards any strategy already running graveyard hate, turning incidental disruption into a clock.

In Commander, Dauthi Jackal fits best in black decks that pack dedicated graveyard hate — Leyline of the Void effects and repeated exile triggers can grow it fast in a four-player game. Legacy is where shadow creatures have historically had a home, and while Dauthi Jackal is the fringe end of that archetype, the one-mana cost keeps it on the conversation's edge. Pauper is its most competitive non-rotating home: commons-legal, cheap, and relevant against the format's graveyard-heavy strategies. Vintage and Oathbreaker are both legal but largely irrelevant — the format speeds don't reward this kind of incremental threat.
