General Traag, Heart of Stone turns every land you play into a 3/1 Dinosaur token with trample, which is a substantial rate of board presence for a five-mana commander. The cost is that the engine only fires on your land drops, so it stalls the moment you flood or miss.

Commander is where General Traag, Heart of Stone lives — a five-mana Gruul legend that demands land-synergy support is built for a 100-card singleton format with room for Exploration, Oracle of Mul Daya, and Azusa, Lost but Seeking. In 60-card formats like Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy, five mana for a vanilla-adjacent threat that doesn't immediately impact the board is a non-starter when those formats punish do-nothing turns at that cost. Standard legality is technically true, but the same problem applies at a smaller scale — five mana needs to win games on the spot, not generate 3/1s over subsequent turns. Oathbreaker is the one adjacent format where the land-drop engine could function, though the tighter card economy makes the payoff feel slower.
