Get the Point destroys a creature and puts a 1/1 Servo token on the battlefield — removal that replaces itself with a body at sorcery speed for five mana. That cost is the problem: five mana for a sorcery-speed kill spell is too slow for any competitive context, and the Servo doesn't come close to compensating.

In Commander, Get the Point competes against Swords to Plowshares, Go for the Throat, and a dozen other options that cost one or two mana — five mana at sorcery speed is disqualifying when the table has three opponents developing boards simultaneously. In Pauper, where the card pool is shallow and commons rule, it's still outclassed by cheaper black removal like Doom Blade and Cast Down. Legacy and Vintage don't want sorcery-speed five-drops that produce a 1/1. Get the Point has a home in very early Limited formats and nowhere else.
