Forsaken Drifters enters and mills four cards, then replaces itself with a card from your graveyard when it dies — two graveyard-filling events stapled to a 2/2 for four mana. It's slow for Constructed but earns its slot in any Commander deck that wants cards in the bin.

Forsaken Drifters is a Commander card — four mana for a 2/2 is below rate in every 60-card format, and Pauper already has more efficient mill and self-mill options at common. In Commander, the combination of an enters trigger and a death trigger on one body is genuinely useful in graveyard decks: you mill four on the way in, then cash in a graveyard card when it dies, all without spending extra resources. Legacy, Vintage, Modern, and Pioneer are non-starters; the rate doesn't compete, and those formats have no patience for a 2/2 at four.
