Peace Strider enters the battlefield and gains you 3 life — a modest but real on-board effect attached to a 3/3 body for four mana. The cost is opportunity: four mana for a vanilla-sized creature with a one-time lifegain trigger is below rate in most Commander contexts, and Audacious Reshapers sets the bar for what an artifact creature at this slot can actually do.

Peace Strider is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but its home is Pauper — where common-only card pools make a 3/3 body with incidental lifegain more competitively relevant. In Commander, it sees fringe play in artifact-centric decks that want bodies to sacrifice or recur, since the lifegain itself rarely moves the needle in a 40-life format. Legacy, Modern, and Vintage have no real use for it given the density of strictly better options at every point on the curve.
