Limits of Solidarity steals your opponent's best creature for a turn and then forces it to attack — full stop, no tap cost, just four mana at sorcery speed. It's a one-shot effect with no lasting board presence, which keeps it out of most competitive lists, but in a meta where one creature can end a game, it does exactly what you need when you need it.

Commander is where Limits of Solidarity sees the most play, specifically in decks that benefit from attacking with stolen creatures or triggering attack-based abilities on demand — think Najeela, the Blade-Blossom or Isshin, Two Heavens as One shells where a single stolen swing has outsized value. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's legal but effectively invisible; four-mana sorceries that only steal temporarily can't compete with the raw efficiency those formats demand. Oathbreaker offers a niche home if your planeswalker leans on combat manipulation, but the card's ceiling is firmly in the 75% Commander bracket where tempo swings matter more than raw card advantage.
