Omenport Vigilante trades a card from your hand for a 3/2 body and a scry 2 whenever you cast a spell with a counter on it — solid filtering stapled to a creature that asks almost nothing of you. Two mana for that rate is fair, and in any deck already running proliferate or counter-placement effects, it pulls real weight.

In Commander, Omenport Vigilante earns its slot in counter-heavy builds — Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, Vorel of the Hull Clade, and similar proliferate shells will trigger it repeatedly, turning it into a reliable scry engine over a long game. In Standard and Pioneer, the card fits aggressive or tempo strategies that play spells with counters naturally, though the 3/2 body is undersized past turn two in those formats. Modern and Legacy have enough density of better two-drops that Omenport Vigilante won't see play there outside of dedicated budget brews. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander case — if your planeswalker or signature spell puts counters on things, this slots in cleanly.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Omenport Vigilante is deep bulk — you're picking it up for essentially nothing. Bulk rares and uncommons with narrow synergy triggers rarely climb unless a pushed commander lands and makes the effect feel mandatory, so don't expect the price to move.
