Paladin Class hits the board giving your attacking creatures +1/+1, then levels up to reward first strike and vigilance synergies, making it a persistent anthem that scales with combat-focused builds. The three-level investment is real, but even at level one it's doing work every turn you swing.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Dion, Bahamut's Dominant
Dion, Bahamut's Dominant cares about Dragons and Knights attacking, and Paladin Class turns every swing into a bigger threat — the anthem effect directly amplifies the wide, aggressive board Dion wants to build.
Adeline, Resplendent Cathar
Adeline, Resplendent Cathar floods the board with Human tokens whenever she attacks, and Paladin Class makes every one of those tokens hit harder from the moment it enters play.
Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar
Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar rewards attacking creatures and punishes interaction on your turn, and Paladin Class adds a baseline power boost that makes each attacker more threatening without requiring any additional mana on combat steps.

In Commander, Paladin Class earns its slot in go-wide white aggro decks — any commander that wants a critical mass of attacking creatures benefits from a permanent anthem that doesn't cost a card every turn. Competitive Commander largely ignores it; three-mana enchantments that don't impact the board immediately are too slow when games end on turn four. In Pioneer and Modern, creature-heavy white aggressive strategies could theoretically run it, but Paladin Class competes with more efficient anthems and rarely makes the cut in those formats where two-mana permanents with immediate impact are the baseline. Legacy and Vintage are simply out of range for this effect.
