Saprazzan Breaker hits the table as a 5/4 that can tap to return a land to its owner's hand — repeatedly, at instant speed, for the cost of not untapping it during your next untap step. The tempo swing is real, but paying three mana for a creature that locks itself down after each activation makes it too slow and clunky for most competitive tables.

In Commander, Saprazzan Breaker occupies the bottom tier of blue tempo creatures — the effect exists, but a 5/4 that hamstrings itself after each bounce isn't pulling its weight in a 100-card singleton format where you need consistent, repeatable disruption. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; the creature is far too slow and underpowered to register in either format. Oathbreaker is the one context where budget blue tempo pieces can occasionally carve out a niche, though Saprazzan Breaker still faces stiff competition from cheaper, more efficient options.
