Lost Leonin puts infect on a two-mana body, and one pump effect turns a 10-life clock into a one-hit kill. Arahbo, Roar of the World's free +3/+3 trigger means Lost Leonin swings for lethal poison on turn three without spending a single extra card.

Arahbo, Roar of the World
Arahbo, Roar of the World's eminence ability pumps Lost Leonin before combat for free, putting any opponent to seven poison counters from a single unblocked swing — the combo requires no setup beyond the two cards themselves.

Commander is where Lost Leonin actually matters — infect's 10-counter threshold is designed for 20-life formats, and the one-on-one damage math in Commander makes a single evasive swing with a pump spell immediately threatening. In Pauper it's a legal common, but infect aggro there runs faster, more evasive threats and Lost Leonin's lack of evasion hurts it. Legacy and Vintage have access to the full infect suite, and a vanilla 2/1 infect for two competes poorly against Glistener Elf and Blighted Agent — it sees no meaningful play in either format.

Price Context
Current price
$0.30 bulk tier
At $0.30, Lost Leonin is firmly bulk — easy to acquire as a four-of without thinking about budget. Bulk infect commons don't appreciate unless a new commander or mechanic spikes demand, so treat it as a cheap role-player and nothing more.
