Kraven, Proud Predator puts a +1/+1 counter on itself every time a creature you control deals combat damage — the longer it lives, the more it snowballs. Three mana for a 3/3 with trample and lifelink is already an honest rate; the self-growth makes it genuinely threatening if unanswered.

In Commander, Kraven, Proud Predator slots cleanly into any Golgari or mono-green counters deck that wants a cheap, self-sufficient threat — it asks nothing of the deck to get value, just swing. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, the rate is real but the ceiling is low: three mana for a 3/3 that grows only when it already connects is too slow against interaction-dense fields without dedicated support. Legacy and Vintage have no interest — the bar for three-mana creatures is prohibitively high. Standard is where Kraven, Proud Predator is most likely to see legitimate play, particularly in aggressive green-black shells where the combination of trample, lifelink, and snowball potential lines up well against a field that can't answer everything.
