Commander is where Jecht, Reluctant Guardian // Braska's Final Aeon does its best work — multiplayer politics amplify the threat of the flip, and 100-card singleton means opponents can't reliably answer it every game. In competitive 1v1 formats like Legacy and Vintage, the mana cost is the ceiling; powerful effects abound there and a creature requiring setup to flip faces stiff competition. Modern and Pioneer are similar: the card is legal, but those formats demand speed and consistency that a transforming threat struggles to guarantee. Standard is the format most likely to showcase it outside Commander, where the card-pool is shallow enough that its power level stands out.
