Golgari Raiders

Commander is where Golgari Raiders actually belongs — 99-card singleton games naturally accumulate creature-heavy graveyards through combat, sacrifice loops, and self-mill, giving it a reliable floor of eight to twelve power by the mid-game. In competitive non-rotating formats like Legacy and Modern, it has no place: four mana for a vanilla trampler with no immediate board impact is unplayable when those formats end games on turns two and three. Pioneer sits in a similar position — the Pioneer graveyard synergy decks that exist prefer recursive threats with more immediate upside. Oathbreaker follows the same Commander logic on a compressed scale, where the smaller deck size means a thinner graveyard and a weaker floor. Golgari Raiders is a Commander card, full stop.
