Nature's Way gives a creature you control vigilance and trample until end of turn, then lets it deal damage equal to its power to any creature an opponent controls — two mana to pick off a blocker or clear a problem creature while keeping your attacker untapped. At that rate, it's one of the cleanest combat tricks in green, and Legolas, Master Archer turns it into a repeatable sniper engine.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Legolas, Master Archer
Legolas, Master Archer's ability triggers whenever a creature with trample or vigilance deals combat damage, so Nature's Way sets up both keywords at once — attack, trigger Legolas, shoot something down, and stay untapped to do it again next turn.

In Commander, Nature's Way earns its slot in any green deck that wants cheap, instant-speed interaction that doubles as a combat enabler — it removes a blocker and grants vigilance in the same motion, which is rare at two mana. Competitive green builds in Legacy and Modern typically have better options, but Nature's Way is perfectly legal and occasionally surfaces in creature-heavy Pioneer brews that want value combat tricks on a budget. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander: if your planeswalker cares about creatures connecting, this card does real work.
