Nulltread Gargantuan puts a 5/6 on the board for two mana, which is an absurd rate — the catch is returning a creature you control to your hand every time it attacks or blocks. In decks that want creatures in hand or on the stack, that downside flips into an upside; everywhere else, it's a real cost.

In Commander, Nulltread Gargantuan is a niche role-player rather than a staple — it earns a slot specifically in Simic ETB loops or bounce-matters builds, where the attack trigger is a feature you architect around rather than a drawback you ignore. In Legacy and Vintage, a two-mana 5/6 is a legitimately threatening clock, but the mandatory bounce on attacks makes it unreliable as a finisher in formats full of interaction, and dedicated aggressive shells have cleaner options. Modern has enough efficient threats that Nulltread Gargantuan never carved out a place, and it remains unplayed there in practice. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander — synergy-dependent, but fine in the right shell.
