Daysquad Marshal enters as a 2/2 and immediately creates a 1/1 Human Soldier token, giving you two bodies for four mana — functional, but unexciting. White has better four-drops in virtually every context, so Daysquad Marshal belongs only in decks that specifically reward Human tribal or token quantity.

In Commander, Daysquad Marshal is fringe playable in Human tribal decks helmed by commanders like Jirina Kudro or Myrel, Shield of Argive, where every Human entering matters. Outside tribal synergy, four mana for a 2/2 plus a 1/1 is below rate for a 100-card format full of more efficient token generators. In Pauper, it occupies common-legal white weenie or token shells, but the format's faster clock makes a four-mana do-little a difficult inclusion. Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Pioneer all offer far more efficient alternatives, so Daysquad Marshal sees essentially no competitive play in those formats.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Daysquad Marshal is deep bulk — acquire it as a throw-in or from a bulk bin, not as a deliberate purchase. There's no scarcity driving the price up, and demand is narrow enough that it stays at the floor indefinitely.
