Kami of Ancient Law gives you a two-mana 2/2 that wipes an enchantment on entry and can sacrifice itself to destroy another — two removal triggers on one card. In enchantment-heavy metas it pulls real weight, and in Quintorius, History Chaser decks it doubles as a reusable lore counter engine.

Quintorius, History Chaser
Quintorius, History Chaser triggers off spells cast from anywhere but the hand, so recurring Kami of Ancient Law from the graveyard or exile generates a steady stream of lore counters and incidental enchantment removal that keeps the board clean while fueling Quintorius's damage output.

In Commander, Kami of Ancient Law is a role-player in any white deck that wants cheap, repeatable enchantment hate — the sacrifice ability means it can answer two enchantments in one turn cycle if you have a way to blink or recur it. In Pauper, enchantment removal at common is always in demand, and the body trades profitably enough to see play in white aggro and control shells. Legacy and Vintage offer too many efficient alternatives for Kami of Ancient Law to compete for slots, though the card remains legal in both. Modern is where it falls off hardest — dedicated enchantment hate at two mana has sharper competition, and the 2/2 body rarely matters.
