Empyreal Voyager turns combat damage into energy, then converts that energy into +1/+1 counters — every swing that connects snowballs the next one. The cost is that it needs to deal combat damage to a player to do anything, which makes it a removal magnet the moment opponents understand the math.

Commander is where Empyreal Voyager belongs — the format's slower clock and multiplayer politics give it time to connect repeatedly, and energy-matters commanders like Atraxa, Praetors' Voice or any Simic-adjacent build can turn the counter accumulation into a real threat. In competitive 1v1 formats like Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's far too slow and too dependent on dealing combat damage to see meaningful play. Oathbreaker sits closer to Commander in pace, so the same logic applies — if your planeswalker supports a counter or energy theme, Empyreal Voyager is a reasonable include.
