Enormous Baloth is a 7/7 for seven mana — the stats are honest, but the cost is not competitive in a format where seven mana buys you game-ending threats with text boxes. The only home where it earns a slot is Jasmine Boreal of the Seven, where having no abilities is the point.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Jasmine Boreal of the Seven
Jasmine Boreal of the Seven turns the absence of abilities into a payoff, and Enormous Baloth — a vanilla 7/7 — is exactly what that engine wants to count. It's in roughly 16% of Jasmine decks for that reason alone.
Ruxa, Patient Professor
Ruxa, Patient Professor buffs creatures with no abilities and grants them the ability to pass through blockers of the same kind, making Enormous Baloth a legitimate finisher that hits harder and hits often in that shell.

| Format | Verdict |

Enormous Baloth is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive play in any of those formats is not where it belongs. In Commander it finds a genuine niche inside Jasmine Boreal of the Seven and Ruxa, Patient Professor builds that specifically reward vanilla creatures — outside those commanders, a 7/7 for seven with no text is just a body. In Legacy and Vintage the card is technically legal and effectively invisible; nothing in those formats is asking for a plain 7/7 at that cost. Modern has better options at every point on the curve, and Enormous Baloth doesn't make the cut there either.
