Roughshod Mentor gives every green creature you control trample for five mana — a blanket evasion grant that turns a go-wide board into a damage engine opponents can't chump-block to death. Five mana for a static anthem effect is a real cost, but in any deck flooding the board with green bodies, the payoff is immediate and board-wide.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Roughshod Mentor belongs — token strategies and creature-heavy green builds run enough bodies to make a blanket trample grant worth the slot. In Legacy, Modern, or Vintage, five mana for a do-nothing-until-combat enchantment is far too slow when individual threats come with built-in evasion or end the game faster. Oathbreaker is legal but shares the same problem: the format is too fast for a five-mana setup piece. Stick to Commander, specifically in decks that go wide with green creatures and lack natural evasion.
