Garza Zol, Plague Queen card art
Garza Zol, Plague Queen hits the table as a 5/5 flying haste that drains an opponent for 1 whenever it deals combat damage and draws you a card — all on a single attacker. Seven mana is a real ask, but Agatha's Soul Cauldron can imprint her activated ability onto a cheaper creature, making the drain-and-draw engine available well before turn seven.

Commander is where Garza Zol, Plague Queen actually sees play — the singleton format tolerates her seven-mana price tag better than anything else, and she doubles as a capable voltron or vampire-tribal commander in Grixis. Legacy, Modern, and Vintage are all technically legal but will never touch her; the cost-to-impact ratio is nowhere near competitive in any of those formats, where seven-mana legends with conditional draw are non-starters. Oathbreaker is legal but faces the same problem at a smaller table scale.
