Nav Squad Commandos enters with a 5/5 body and connives twice, letting you filter toward what you need while building a legitimate threat — all for six mana. The rate is fair but not efficient enough to compete outside of decks that specifically reward connive or Citizen typal synergies.

In Commander, Nav Squad Commandos slots cleanly into Obscura or connive-focused builds where the double connive on entry replaces itself and the 5/5 body is relevant on a board that rewards attacking. In Pauper, six mana is a steep ask at common, and the format's efficient threats make this a fringe option at best — only dedicated connive shells would bother. Modern and Pioneer have no real home for it; the mana cost puts it outside competitive consideration in formats where six-drops need to end the game outright. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters for obvious reasons. Nav Squad Commandos is a Commander card through and through.
