Lu Meng, Wu General card art
Lu Meng, Wu General turns every attacking creature into a card — the payoff is immediate and repeatable, not conditional on a combo resolving. The cost is four mana for a 3/4, which is a fair rate for an effect that generates this much value over a long game.

In Commander, Lu Meng, Wu General thrives as a value engine in creature-heavy decks — each combat step can draw two or three cards, which is the kind of sustained advantage that wins long games. Legacy and Vintage are legal formats, but Lu Meng, Wu General competes against far more efficient threats and draw spells, so it sees no realistic play there. Modern, Pioneer, Standard, and Pauper are all off the table. Oathbreaker is legal, and the card could generate real value in a go-wide shell, though the format's faster clock makes four mana a steeper ask.
