Razorfin Hunter pings any target for 1 damage as a repeatable activated ability, and that's exactly what Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph needs — every 1-damage trigger becomes 3, turning a mopey 1/1 into a machine that clears creatures and drains life totals simultaneously. Two mana to activate is the tax, and it's a real one, but the payoff in the right shell makes it a staple inclusion.

Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph
Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph's replacement effect turns every Razorfin Hunter activation into 3 damage instead of 1, which means you're killing most utility creatures and chunking players for serious life totals with a single tap — the Hunter is one of the cleanest enablers in the entire deck.

Razorfin Hunter is a narrow card that earns its slot almost exclusively in Commander, where the Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph engine makes its repeatable 1-damage ping disproportionately powerful. In Pauper it's legal but never sees play — the format's efficient aggro and combo decks have no interest in a 2-mana-per-activation 1/1. Legacy and Vintage are both legal but irrelevant; nothing about Razorfin Hunter comes close to the power level those formats demand. Commander is the only place this card is doing real work.
