Glissa's Courier is a 3/2 menace for three mana that applies real pressure and demands two blockers — the stats are genuinely above rate for green at three. The catch is narrow synergy requirements; outside of Phyrexian-themed or -counter builds, it's just a slightly above-average beater with no added value.

In Commander, Glissa's Courier earns a slot in Phyrexian-tribal or oil-counter builds where its creature type and stat line both contribute, but it's fringe outside that niche. In Pauper, menace on a 3/2 for three is legitimately playable in green aggressive shells where evasion is scarce at common, and that's where Glissa's Courier sees its most competitive use. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters — the power floor is simply too low relative to the format's threats. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander: fine if the commander cares about Phyrexians, invisible otherwise.
