Rogue Refiner nets you a card and an Energy counter on a 3/2 body for three mana — everything is on-board value the moment it resolves. In Energy-based Commander builds, especially under Saheeli, Radiant Creator, that immediate refund makes it a reliable curve piece rather than a flex slot.

Saheeli, Radiant Creator
Saheeli, Radiant Creator's ability to copy artifacts and creatures rewards dense, value-generating creatures, and Rogue Refiner checks every box — it replaces itself, feeds the Energy engine, and copies well when Saheeli's [+1] is in play.

Rogue Refiner had its competitive moment in Standard-era Energy decks, but that window is long closed and it doesn't see meaningful play in Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer — three-mana creatures that only draw one card don't clear the bar in those formats. Commander is where it still earns a slot, strictly inside Energy-matters decks that need redundant sources of both cards and Energy on a single card. Outside that shell, it's too slow and too narrow to justify the roster spot.
