Elturgard Ranger enters with a 2/2 companion creature token and immediately threatens to grow both bodies whenever you attack with the paired creature — that's a lot of board presence packed into one card. The three-mana cost is fair, and any deck that wants a steady stream of attackers will find Elturgard Ranger pulling its weight from turn three onward.

In Commander, Elturgard Ranger fits cleanly into go-wide and token strategies that want redundant threats at a low price point — the paired token means you're always getting at least two bodies for three mana. In Pauper, the common slot is contested, but a self-contained two-body threat that scales with attacks is worth testing in any aggressive or token shell. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer are too fast for a three-mana 2/2-plus-token that doesn't generate immediate card advantage or disruption, so Elturgard Ranger won't see competitive play in those formats. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander read — token commanders that want cheap fodder will appreciate it.
