Slippery Karst enters tapped and cycles for one green mana — a Forest you can trade for a fresh card late when you don't need a land drop. Escape Protocol turns that cycling trigger into a free blink, which is where Slippery Karst stops being filler and starts being an engine piece; Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury decks run it specifically to chain that effect.

Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury
Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury decks use Slippery Karst as a reliable, repeatable cycling trigger — pair it with Escape Protocol and every late-game land draw becomes a blink outlet instead of a dead card.

In Commander, Slippery Karst is a niche include — irrelevant in most green decks, but a genuine role-player in cycling or blink builds where the trigger has mechanical weight. Pauper is its other home, where the cycling land cycle sees occasional play in landfall and graveyard shells that value cheap, unconditional card filtering. Legacy and Vintage allow it but have no interest in a tapped Forest with a one-mana cycle when fetchlands and dual lands exist. It's a Commander and Pauper card; everywhere else it's scenery.
