Riptide Pilferer

In Commander, Riptide Pilferer is a niche but functional piece in discard-matters or evasion-tribal builds — three opponents means three hands to chip away at, and if you can guarantee it connects every turn, the cumulative pressure is real. In Legacy and Vintage, it doesn't compete: one discard trigger per combat is too slow against formats that win on turns one through three, and there are far more efficient discard spells available. Modern has the same problem — Riptide Pilferer demands attack steps in a format that doesn't give them. Oathbreaker is its second-best home, where the lower starting hand sizes make each forced discard sting more and evasion enablers in the command zone can make it consistently threatening.
