Is Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers good in Commander?

Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers in Commander

Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers turns every attacking creature into a token factory and a potential infinite combat loop — the Breath of Fury combo is live the moment you have a wide enough board. The cost is a five-mana investment into a card that does nothing until you attack, which makes it a liability against fast or removal-heavy tables. Ruby, Daring Tracker pairs with it out of the box and softens that weakness by generating value before the swing step.

Commander is where Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers actually gets to do its job — multiplayer means more targets for the token trigger, more opponents to swing through for Breath of Fury loops, and enough time to reach five mana without falling behind. In constructed formats like Modern or Pioneer it's legal but irrelevant: a 5/5 for five that telegraphs its combo is far too slow and too dependent on combat to compete with efficient interaction. Standard legality is the same story — a fun card in a hostile format. Oathbreaker can work in a dedicated tokens-and-combat shell, but the card's ceiling is genuinely Commander, and that's where you should build around it.
