Quicksilver Geyser bounces two nonland permanents back to their owners' hands for five mana — broad, instant-speed disruption that hits anything. Five mana for a sorcery-equivalent bounce effect is a steep price, and cheaper, more targeted options exist at nearly every point on the curve.

Quicksilver Geyser is a fringe option in Commander, where the five-mana cost competes against removal that permanently answers threats rather than delays them. Pauper is its most natural home — the card pool is shallow enough that hitting two permanents at instant speed has real teeth, and the common print keeps it accessible. In Legacy and Vintage, it never sees play; those formats demand efficiency that five mana simply doesn't provide. Oathbreaker follows the Commander logic: tempo matters more there, and Quicksilver Geyser is too slow to pull weight.
