Gary Clone card art
Gary Clone enters and immediately drains each opponent for the number of creatures you control — in token-heavy Commander pods, that's often lethal damage on the spot. Caesar, Legion's Emperor runs it in roughly one in five builds for exactly that reason: the payoff scales with the board state you've already built.

Caesar, Legion's Emperor churns out a steady stream of tokens whenever your creatures die in combat, so by the time Gary Clone hits the table, the drain trigger is counting a packed board — not a handful of stragglers.

Gary Clone is Commander's card through and through — the drain scales with creature count, and no other format lets you spend four years building toward a board full of tokens before the trigger fires. It's technically legal in Legacy and Vintage, but those formats move too fast and too efficiently for a five-mana 'I win if I already have creatures' play to matter. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander home worth mentioning, where the smaller pod size can still deliver a lethal life-swing off a modest board.
