Ruhan of the Fomori is a 7/7 trampler for four mana — one of the most efficient stat-to-cost ratios in Commander — but the random attack targeting means you're not steering it. The chaos clause keeps it out of focused aggressive strategies, making it a better chaos or political build card than a pure voltron threat.

Ruhan of the Fomori exists almost exclusively in Commander, where the random-attack clause generates politics and chaos rather than feel-bad randomness — the multiplayer table absorbs the unpredictability in a way a duel never could. As a commander, it headlined some of the earliest Jeskai voltron builds, piling equipment and auras onto a cheap 7/7 that was already threatening before any buffs. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but competes with formats full of instant-speed interaction that punish a four-mana creature with no enters-the-battlefield effect and no protection built in — it simply doesn't show up there. Oathbreaker has no meaningful home for it either.
