Salvage Slasher grows by +1/+1 for each artifact in your graveyard, making it a late-game threat in decks that churn through artifacts fast. The ceiling is real, but it does nothing the turn it arrives and needs graveyard density to matter — narrow enough that only dedicated artifact-recursion shells want it.

In Commander, Salvage Slasher earns a slot in artifact-heavy graveyard decks — think Oswald Fiddlebender or Daretti, Scrap Savant builds that naturally pile artifacts into the bin — where it can grow into a legitimate attacker without any extra investment. Outside of those shells it's a vanilla 1/1 for two mana, which is unplayable. In Pauper it faces stiff competition from other common threats and the graveyard synergy is harder to assemble at that card-quality ceiling. Legacy and Vintage are simply too fast for a do-nothing-immediately creature, regardless of upside.
