Neheb, the Worthy brings a Minotaur lord with a discard-payoff built in — first strike and +2/+1 to your other Minotaurs while draining opponents for each card discarded to hand size matters. The cost is real: you're building around a tribal theme that has a narrow card pool and an active self-discard engine that leaves you card-down unless you build specifically to exploit it. Sethron, Hurloon General is the commander that makes this trade-off worthwhile; outside that shell, Neheb, the Worthy is a hard sell.

Sethron, Hurloon General
Sethron, Hurloon General runs Neheb, the Worthy in over 94% of its decks because the two cards form the core of the Minotaur tribal engine — Sethron generates tokens that Neheb buffs, and the combined board presence plus discard drain puts games away fast.

Commander is where Neheb, the Worthy actually lives; the Minotaur tribal synergies only reach critical mass in a 99-card singleton format where you can stack enough lords and discard outlets to make the engine consistent. In competitive 60-card formats — Modern, Pioneer, Legacy — Neheb, the Worthy doesn't show up, because two-color tribal synergy at three mana competing against those format's threats isn't viable. The discard-drain ability is incidental damage rather than a win condition in those contexts, and Minotaurs simply don't have the density of pushed cards needed to sustain a competitive non-Commander build. Oathbreaker is theoretically legal but offers no meaningful home here.
