Mystic of the Hidden Way is a 3/2 unblockable body for five mana — the effect is real, the rate is not. It sees play almost exclusively in Pauper, where unblockable creatures on a common frame carry actual weight; everywhere else, five mana for a vanilla-sized creature that can't be blocked is just too slow.

Pauper is where Mystic of the Hidden Way earns its keep — unblockable threats at common are scarce enough that a 3/2 for five can close games in tempo and prowess shells. In Commander, the card is nearly unplayable; five mana for a 3/2 with no enters-the-battlefield effect and no evasion beyond unblockable is a steep ask when the board has three opponents and faster threats. Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage all have access to cheaper, more impactful unblockable or evasive creatures, so Mystic of the Hidden Way doesn't compete there.
