Repentant Blacksmith gives its controller protection from red, a niche defensive ability that stops almost nothing in most metas. A 2/1 for two mana with a passive that rarely matters is not a card worth a deck slot.

Repentant Blacksmith is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no play in any of them. In Commander, protection from red has narrow relevance — it blocks damage from one color's removal and attackers, but leaves you exposed to everything else and does nothing proactive. In Pauper, where the card is technically legal, a 2/1 for two mana with a static protection ability fails to clear the baseline efficiency bar. Repentant Blacksmith exists in Legacy and Vintage by virtue of their open card pools, not because it belongs there.
