Dog Walker

In Commander, Dog Walker slots cleanly into go-wide token strategies and any deck that rewards entering-the-battlefield triggers, lifegain, or sacrifice fodder — the Missy token's lifelink is a small but real bonus when you're looping sacrifice engines. In Pauper, the common designation keeps Dog Walker in the conversation for budget white weenie or lifelink-synergy shells, though three mana for a 1/1 plus a 1/1 is a crowded slot. Across constructed formats like Standard and Pioneer, it's outclassed by efficiency, but as a bulk common it doesn't need to compete at the top tier to earn a slot in the right casual or budget build.
