Gaea's Revenge hits the board as an 8/5 haste that can't be targeted by non-green spells — it attacks immediately and dodges most interaction at instant speed. Eight mana is steep, but the protection clause makes it a genuine problem for blue and black decks to answer.

In Commander, Gaea's Revenge slots into green stompy and Timmy-style creature decks that want an evasive finisher immune to the most common interaction — counterspells, Murder effects, and Swords to Plowshares all bounce off it. In Modern and Legacy, eight mana is nearly unplayable without dedicated ramp, and even then there are more efficient threats; the protection clause doesn't compensate for the cost at those speeds. Pioneer sits in the same boat — the format's interactive tools are cheaper and faster than Gaea's Revenge can ever be. Oathbreaker follows Commander logic: if your planeswalker is green and your game plan involves ramping into large creatures, this is a clean top-end option.
