Lagorin, Soul of Alacria hands every creature you control haste and vigilance — a board-wide effect that would be backbreaking on a static enchantment, let alone a creature body. Samut, the Driving Force already wants to swing wide and untap everything, so Lagorin isn't a supplement there, it's a core piece.

Samut, the Driving Force
Samut, the Driving Force rewards attacking with your whole board and punishes tapping out, which makes Lagorin, Soul of Alacria's vigilance grant as relevant as the haste — you swing for Samut's triggered effects and still hold up a full defense.

Commander is where Lagorin, Soul of Alacria earns its slot — token strategies, go-wide aggro, and tap-based combo decks all want haste and vigilance on demand without paying the enchantment tax. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, a three-mana creature that does nothing by itself until other creatures are in play is too slow and too fragile to see serious play. Legacy and Vintage have better redundancy for haste effects and won't touch it. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander 100-card format where it's worth a look, specifically in Naya or Gruul signature-spell shells that already go wide.
