Mindwrack Demon lands as a 4/5 flying trampler for four mana — an above-rate body that also mills four on entry and every upkeep. The catch is a delirium life-loss trigger that punishes you hard if you haven't hit four card types in the graveyard, so it belongs in decks that actively want a stocked bin, not as a generic beater.

In Commander, Mindwrack Demon is a role-player in dedicated graveyard shells — it mills four on entry and repeats each upkeep, which accelerates delirium and fills the bin for reanimation payoffs. The life-loss trigger is mostly irrelevant once you've hit four card types, and in a 40-life format that's easier to stomach even when you haven't. In Modern and Pioneer, four mana is a steep rate for a creature with a conditional drawback, and it's been largely outclassed by cheaper self-mill threats and graveyard enablers. Legacy and Vintage have even faster options and Mindwrack Demon doesn't see meaningful play in either. Commander is where it actually earns a slot.
