Devoted Paladin puts a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control that has a fate counter on it — a payoff that scales hard in dedicated counter-stacking builds. The four-mana cost is steep for what amounts to a tribal-adjacent anthem trigger, so it earns its slot only in decks built specifically around fate counters.

Devoted Paladin is a Commander card in practice — the fate counter mechanic it cares about has no meaningful presence in Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, or Vintage, where four mana for a conditional counter distribution doesn't compete. Pauper is its only other realistic home, and only if a fate-counter synergy shell exists at common. In Commander, Devoted Paladin belongs in decks that generate fate counters repeatedly, where a single trigger can pump a board of creatures simultaneously and close games.
