Pianna, Nomad Captain turns every attacking creature into a temporary +1/+1 pump, which adds up fast in a wide white board. Three mana for a 2/2 with no evasion is a real cost, but in the right shell the combat math she creates is the point.

In Commander, Pianna, Nomad Captain is a role-player in token and go-wide strategies — she slots into white weenie and token builds as a low-investment combat anthem that doesn't require setup. Legacy and Vintage are both legal but irrelevant; three-mana 2/2s with conditional pumps don't compete in those formats. Oathbreaker is the most interesting non-Commander home, where games are faster and a wide attack on turns three or four can close things out before opponents stabilize.
