Lord of Tresserhorn card art
Lord of Tresserhorn is a 10/4 regenerator for four mana — one of the most efficient bodies ever printed — and pairing it with Tainted Strike turns that into a one-shot infect kill the turn it enters. The cost is real: you lose two life and sacrifice two creatures on cast, which means it's a liability in decks that can't recoup those resources or protect it from exile.

Commander is where Lord of Tresserhorn actually lives. The entry cost hurts less when your deck is built around sacrifice synergies or life-gain loops, and 40 life buys enough cushion to absorb the two-life tax. In Legacy and Vintage, a four-mana creature that costs two creatures and two life to deploy is never seeing competitive play when faster, cheaper threats exist. Oathbreaker is legal but the same ceiling applies — Lord of Tresserhorn is a Commander card, full stop.
