Gladehart Cavalry enters swinging: six power across two bodies, and every other creature you control gets a +1/+1 counter when it attacks — the board snowballs immediately. Six mana is a real ask, but the payoff is immediate and doesn't wait for a second rotation.

Gladehart Cavalry is a Commander card through and through — six mana is too slow for Modern or Legacy, where the formats end before the counter engine matters. In Commander, token and go-wide decks love the attack trigger: with ten creatures swinging, you're stacking ten counters per combat step, turning small bodies into threats inside a single turn cycle. Oathbreaker functions similarly to Commander at a smaller scale, and the card is legal there, but the 60-card formats give it no foothold against faster, leaner competition.
