Samut, Vizier of Naktamun gives every creature you control haste — a blanket effect that turns any board state into an immediate threat. The cost is a three-mana 2/3 with no protection, which means she's always one removal spell away from a wasted turn, but in the right shell that upside is worth the fragility.

Ognis, the Dragon's Lash generates Treasure the moment a haste creature attacks, so Samut, Vizier of Naktamun transforms every creature entering the battlefield into an immediate mana engine rather than a delayed one — the combination means your whole team is both threatening and fueling your next play on the same swing.

Samut, Vizier of Naktamun is a Commander card through and through — the blanket haste grant scales with board presence in a way that's unremarkable in one-on-one formats where you're rarely swinging with more than one or two creatures at a time. In Modern and Pioneer, three mana for a 2/3 that does nothing by itself is far below rate when dedicated haste enablers come cheaper or stapled to more threatening bodies. Legacy and Vintage don't care about her at all. Commander is the only format where she earns her slot reliably, specifically in creature-wide attack strategies that want to cash in immediately after a mass deployment.
