Monument to Perfection enters as a 0/0 and grows one counter at a time — slow by default, but in the right shell it becomes an indestructible, hexproof finisher that opponents can't easily answer. The setup cost is real, but the payoff is a permanent that closes games on its own.

Commander is where Monument to Perfection does its best work — proliferate synergies, counter-doubling effects, and the slower pace of multiplayer games all give it room to reach critical mass. In 1v1 formats like Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's too slow without dedicated support, and even then faster threats make the slot hard to justify competitively. Oathbreaker lands somewhere in between: if your planeswalker strategy already leans on counters, Monument to Perfection can fit, but it's a fringe inclusion rather than a staple.
