Renata, Called to the Hunt card art
Renata, Called to the Hunt enters with a +1/+1 counter on every creature you control and makes each subsequent creature enter with an extra counter — that passive effect alone warrants the slot before you even touch the combo potential. Sacrifice engines like Ashnod's Altar turn those counters into a resource loop, and in Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh decks the constant counter distribution fuels her triggered engine from the first creature you play.

Renata, Called to the Hunt is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, though her home is unambiguously Commander. In 60-card formats she competes in slots demanding more immediate or disruptive impact — a four-mana 2/*/2/* that buffs future creatures is too slow and too board-dependent against efficient interaction. In Commander the calculus flips entirely: her devotion-scaling body grows legitimately large in green-heavy builds, the passive counter grant turns every creature spell into a mini Gavony Township trigger, and she slots cleanly into any counter-doubler, sacrifice, or aristocrats shell. Oathbreaker is a reasonable secondary format, particularly as the signature spell slot can be built around her enter trigger, but that's a niche application next to her Commander ubiquity.
