Savior of the Sleeping

In Commander, Savior of the Sleeping rewards patient play in multiplayer games where opponents routinely swing with full boards or tap out for spells — you can accumulate a small army just by surviving to other players' end steps. In 1v1 formats like Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy, the card collapses: opponents will attack you directly rather than leaving tapped creatures sitting around, and a four-mana do-nothing-immediately enchantment won't survive contact with a competitive field. Pauper is where Savior of the Sleeping might find the most traction outside Commander, since aggressive creature strategies at that power level frequently leave tapped bodies in combat. Standard is the only format where it has a realistic stage, but it still needs a specific meta full of combat-heavy midrange decks to justify the inclusion.
