Kolaghan Warmonger gives every Dragon you control haste the turn it enters, which means your threats are threats immediately rather than sitting vulnerable for a full rotation. The cost of running it is a two-mana 2/2 body, which is genuinely fine when Rivaz of the Claw is recasting Dragons from the graveyard every turn and needs them attacking right away.

Rivaz of the Claw
Rivaz of the Claw generates value by recurring Dragons, but that engine stalls if those Dragons can't swing until the following turn — Kolaghan Warmonger closes that gap and turns every recursion trigger into an immediate attack.

Kolaghan Warmonger is a Commander card through and through — the haste-anthem effect is only meaningful when you're deploying multiple large Dragons in a single turn, which happens regularly at a 100-card table and almost never in 60-card formats. In Modern or Pioneer, a two-mana 2/2 with a conditional upside doesn't compete with the speed of those formats, and Dragon tribal shells there have better payoffs. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters for the same reason, compounded by the power level of everything else happening. Stick it in Commander, specifically in Dragon-dense decks where the haste effect triggers more than once per game.
