Minion of Tevesh Szat puts a 4/5 flying trample body on the board and forces a sacrifice from each opponent every upkeep — that kind of sustained pressure is genuinely hard to ignore. The cost is real: six mana and a tap-plus-sacrifice-a-creature activation to keep the drain going, which makes it better in decks that generate expendable tokens than in lean creature builds.

Commander is the natural home for Minion of Tevesh Szat — six mana is acceptable in a 100-card singleton format, and the forced-sacrifice trigger scales directly with the number of opponents at the table, stripping three creatures per full rotation rather than one. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but essentially unplayable; the mana cost and slow, incremental effect don't come close to matching what those formats demand at the same point on the curve. Oathbreaker is the only other format worth mentioning, and there it functions similarly to Commander but in a tighter, faster game where the six-mana entry point is more punishing.
