Heron's Grace Champion enters the battlefield and immediately pumps every Human you control with first strike and +1/+1 until end of turn — in the right deck, that's a combat blowout stapled to a 3/3 flash body. It's a staple in Kyler, Sigardian Emissary lists for good reason, and any Human tribal shell that can cast it at flash speed should.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Kyler, Sigardian Emissary
Kyler, Sigardian Emissary turns every Human ETB into a permanent +1/+1 counter on himself, so Heron's Grace Champion arriving at flash speed before blockers are declared means your whole board swings with first strike while Kyler grows — it's both a combat trick and a clock accelerant in one card.
Katilda and Lier
Heron's Grace Champion slots into Katilda and Lier as a flash-speed combat finisher that rewards the deck's dense Human count, giving the team first strike at the moment it matters most and threatening lethal out of nowhere.

In Commander, Heron's Grace Champion earns its slot exclusively in Human tribal decks — the effect is parasitic enough that it's unplayable outside that shell, but inside one it's a legitimate threat. In Modern and Pioneer, Human aggro decks have access to far more efficient lords and combat tricks, so Heron's Grace Champion sits at the bottom of the inclusion list unless you're specifically budget-building or want redundancy on anthem effects. Legacy offers no compelling reason to run it over faster options. The card's real home is and will remain Commander, specifically Kyler builds, where flash and board-wide first strike at combat are worth the four-mana investment.
