Might Makes Right lets you steal and attack with the greatest-power creature an opponent controls — every combat step, for as long as it stays on the battlefield. Six mana is a real ask, but the effect is recursive and immediate: it doesn't wait for a trigger or a tap, it just rewrites who the biggest threat belongs to.

Commander is where Might Makes Right belongs. Multiplayer tables routinely host creatures with power north of five, and the enchantment turns whoever has the biggest board presence into your personal armory every turn. In Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer the creature suite is leaner and more interactive — six mana is a liability before you untap, and opponents can answer it cleanly before it ever triggers. Oathbreaker can support it in the right shell, but the power ceiling is lower. Stick to Commander.
