Pair it with Ashnod's Altar and any token doubler and you're draining the table in chunks; Ghave, Guru of Spores decks have known this for years, which is why Slimefoot shows up in over 60% of them.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

Format	Verdict
commander	legal
legacy	legal
modern	legal
pioneer	legal
standard	not legal
vintage	legal
pauper	not legal
oathbreaker	legal

Commander is unambiguously where Slimefoot, the Stowaway lives — the drain trigger scales with three opponents, and a 99-card singleton format gives you maximum access to the sacrifice outlets and token doublers that make it lethal. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but irrelevant; a three-mana 1/1 with no immediate impact doesn't compete in formats that end games on turn one or two. Modern and Pioneer have the card legal on paper, but the same problem applies — Slimefoot asks you to build around it, and neither format rewards that kind of slow, incremental token-drain plan when faster threats dominate the metagame. Stick to Commander; that's the only 75 where Slimefoot, the Stowaway is doing real work.
