Siani, Eye of the Storm turns every attacking flier you control into a scry trigger, stacking card selection at a pace most blue decks would pay premium for. Four mana for a 2/2 with flying is a fair rate when the effect is this consistent — pair it with Elminster and you're converting scry into direct value every single turn.

Commander is where Siani, Eye of the Storm belongs — the scry payoff scales with board width, and multiplayer games give you enough turns to build the flying army that makes the trigger absurd. In Legacy and Vintage, a 2/2 for four with a conditional scry clause doesn't clear the bar; those formats demand immediate, unconditional impact. Oathbreaker is the one alternative worth considering if your signature spell is a cheap blue instant that lets you attack fast and often, but the ceiling there is lower than a dedicated flying-tribal Commander shell.
