Multani's Acolyte trades itself for two cards the moment it enters, making it a cantrip that replaces itself and then some in any deck running enough lands. The echo cost is the ceiling — if you can't pay it next upkeep, you've already gotten your value and the loss is trivial.

In Commander, Multani's Acolyte slots cleanly into any green deck that wants cheap card draw, particularly landfall and lands-matter builds where the land-card draw condition is trivially satisfied. Pauper is where it has historically seen the most competitive consideration, since two-for-ones at common rarity are genuinely scarce and green card draw is at a premium. Legacy and Vintage are legal but uninterested — both formats have access to far more efficient draw engines. Multani's Acolyte is a Commander and Pauper card through and through.
