Hidden Dragonslayer hits the board as a 2/1 lifelink for two, then megamorphs into a creature kill spell that destroys any creature with power 4 or greater — relevant in Commander where fatty threats are constant. Kaust, Eyes of the Glade turns the face-down trick into a repeatable synergy engine, making Hidden Dragonslayer one of the cleanest role-players in that shell.

Kaust, Eyes of the Glade rewards every morph and megamorph trigger, so Hidden Dragonslayer's flip doubles as both targeted removal and a Kaust activation — you're getting a kill spell and a card-advantage event stapled together.

In Commander, Hidden Dragonslayer fills a specific slot: white creature-based removal that also contributes to board presence and triggers morph synergies. The power-4-or-greater condition covers the majority of threatening creatures in the format, so the restriction rarely bites. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, it's too slow — a three-mana removal spell that requires a second-turn setup can't keep pace with faster threats. Legacy and Vintage have access to far more efficient interaction, so Hidden Dragonslayer sees essentially no play there. Its home is Commander, full stop.
