Rassilon, the War President
Legendary Creature — Time Lord Noble
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 2 life and exile the top card of your library. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled.
Each noncreature spell you cast from exile has conspire. (As you cast that spell, you may tap two untapped creatures you control that share a color with it. When you do, copy it and you may choose new targets for the copy.)

Rassilon, the War President puts a meaningful political and combat threat on the board — the kind of card that demands answers or snowballs — but that pressure comes stapled to a mana cost that requires justification in your curve. It's a card you build around, not a card you slot in.

Commander is the natural home for Rassilon, the War President — multiplayer politics and the slower pace of EDH give its abilities room to matter, and the legendary supertype means it can sit in the command zone itself. In Legacy and Vintage, where it's technically legal, the competition at its mana cost is brutal and no one is casting this in a powered environment. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander: playable in theory, viable if the effect fits your game plan.
