Rubblebelt Raiders turns every attack into a permanent size upgrade — each attacking creature adds a +1/+1 counter, so a wide board snowballs fast. The four-mana cost is fair for the effect, and under Wulfgar of Icewind Dale the trigger doubles, making it one of the most explosive payoffs in Gruul aggro.

Wulfgar of Icewind Dale
Wulfgar of Icewind Dale doubles attack triggers, which means Rubblebelt Raiders hands out twice the counters every combat — a board of five attackers nets ten counters instead of five, and that math compounds over just two or three swings into a lethal threat.

Rubblebelt Raiders is a Commander card through and through — the payoff requires multiple attackers and multiple combat steps to really matter, and 1v1 formats move too fast for that engine to come online. In Modern and Pioneer it's simply outclassed; four mana for a 3/3 with no immediate impact is unplayable in those environments. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters for the same reason. Commander is where it belongs: wide attack-trigger decks, particularly under Wulfgar of Icewind Dale or any Gruul commander that wants to go tall fast, give Rubblebelt Raiders the time and the bodies it needs to do real work.
