Eelectrocute deals damage equal to a creature's power to that creature's controller — instant-speed, no muss, punishes big attackers hardest. The cost keeps it honest, but the ceiling rises sharply in any shell that cares about life loss or spell-damage triggers.

In Commander, Eelectrocute earns its slot in Rakdos and Grixis shells that reward draining opponents — every point of damage doubles as a trigger for commanders like Vial Smasher the Fierce or Nekusar, the Mindrazer. In Pauper it competes on rate against established removal, so its niche is specifically the damage-matters builds rather than generic control. Legacy and Vintage allow it but offer far more efficient options, making Eelectrocute a fringe choice in those formats at best. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander logic: pair it with a planeswalker that cares about burn or life loss and the card overperforms its cost.
