Silent Sentinel enters the battlefield and immediately starts looping enchantments back from your graveyard every combat — no mana cost on the recursion, just attack triggers. Seven mana is a real ask, but in Daxos the Returned shells where enchantments fuel experience counters and Second Chance can loop for infinite turns, that cost pays for itself fast.

Daxos the Returned
Daxos the Returned generates experience counters from enchantments entering the battlefield, so Silent Sentinel's attack trigger — recurring any enchantment from the graveyard — directly fuels his token-power scaling while rebuilding your enchantment base every swing.

Silent Sentinel is a Commander card through and through — the seven-mana body is too slow for Legacy, Pioneer, or Modern, where enchantment recursion at that cost has no competitive home. In Commander, the attack trigger is free recursion at a rate that compounds quickly in enchantment-heavy decks, and multiplayer combat means you attack multiple opponents before anyone can stabilize. Oathbreaker is legal but the 60-card singleton format rewards cheaper engines; Silent Sentinel is a fringe inclusion there at best.
