Krosan Beast is a 1/1 for four mana that becomes an 8/8 trampler the moment you control a Forest and a Squirrel — a conditional spike that lives and dies on threshold. Outside a dedicated Squirrel shell, the setup cost is too narrow to justify the slot.

In Commander, Krosan Beast is a fringe include in Squirrel-tribal or threshold-focused green decks — the 8/8 trample body is genuinely threatening, but you need both threshold and a Squirrel on board to cash in, which is a two-condition ask in a 100-card singleton format. Legacy and Vintage legality is mostly academic; neither format has ever had interest in a four-mana creature with this many prerequisites. Krosan Beast is effectively a Commander-only conversation piece, and even there it earns a slot only if your deck is already built around the Squirrel type or is deliberately grinding toward threshold.
