Earthshaker Khenra enters swinging and blanks a blocker immediately — that combination of haste and an on-entry tap effect is the whole pitch. The eternalize cost is steep, but a second copy with a permanent tap lock late in the game is a real threat.

In Commander, Earthshaker Khenra is a role-player in red aggro and Zombie strategies rather than a staple — the single tap effect gets diluted at a four-player table, but eternalize synergizes cleanly with reanimator and graveyard loops. In Pioneer and Modern, it sees the most competitive action as a curve piece in red aggro, where haste damage on turn two and a recoverable late threat justify the slot. Legacy and Vintage have faster clocks and better options, so Earthshaker Khenra rarely shows up there outside of dedicated aggressive builds.
