Possessed Centaur is a 3/3 trample for four mana that becomes a 5/5 in threshold — reasonable stats on a body that does nothing else. Vanilla and near-vanilla creatures at this price point have too much competition in Commander to justify the slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Possessed Centaur is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees meaningful play in none of them. In Commander, a 3/3 or conditional 5/5 for four mana with no enters-the-battlefield effect, no keyword beyond trample, and no tribal tag is below the power floor the format demands. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in a ground-floor creature that requires a setup condition just to reach mediocrity. Oathbreaker is equally unforgiving — the 60-card formats that are legal for this card simply have better options at every point on the curve.
