Kelinore Bat

In Commander, Kelinore Bat finds its only real home in dedicated life-gain decks where every lifelink trigger matters — think Oloro, Ageless Ascetic or Karlov of the Ghost Council shells running out of better options at the three-drop slot. In Pauper, the common restriction at least levels the field, but a 2/1 for three with no enters-the-battlefield effect still struggles to justify a slot over cheaper lifelink bodies. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest in Kelinore Bat; the power ceiling of those formats makes this a non-starter. It is legal in Oathbreaker, where the same Commander logic applies at a smaller table scale.
