Slavering Nulls lets you discard a Goblin card to make a target creature lose all abilities until end of turn whenever it deals combat damage to a player — a repeatable, attack-rewarded silence stapled to a 2/2 body. The activation cost keeps it honest, but in a deck that floods the board with Goblins, the discard is rarely a real price.

Slavering Nulls is a Commander card — full stop. The ability is too slow and conditional for Legacy, Modern, or Vintage, where games rarely reach the sustained combat loop the card needs to do real work. In Commander, it earns a slot specifically in Goblin tribal builds that can generate enough token chaff to make the discard painless; outside that archetype it's underpowered for a 99-card format where competition for two-drops is stiff. Oathbreaker is legal but the same tribal caveat applies.
