Rith, the Awakener hits the board as a 6/6 flying trampler that can flood the table with Saproling tokens on every successful attack, converting raw power into a token army that scales with your opponent's green permanents. The cost is six mana and the requirement to connect — pair with Aggravated Assault and the tokens pay for themselves, but a single chump blocker shuts off the engine entirely.

Rith, the Awakener is a Commander card through and through — six mana is a real cost in Legacy and Vintage, and those formats offer no payoff for a token-generation loop that assumes repeated combat steps over multiple turns. In Commander, the political texture of the format works in Rith's favor: opponents are frequently tapped out or unwilling to chump, green permanents are everywhere, and the token production compounds quickly once it starts. Oathbreaker is technically legal but the 20-life starting total and faster pace punish six-drops harshly.
