Sosuke, Son of Seshiro hands every Warrior you control a static +1/+1 and deathtouch, then turns any Snake kill into a free Naturalize — two distinct effects that would each justify a slot on their own. The three-mana cost makes him easy to resolve early and recast if needed, so the floor is genuinely high.

Sosuke, Son of Seshiro sees essentially no play in Legacy, Modern, or Vintage — three-mana do-nothing-on-entry creatures don't compete in those formats, and tribal synergy pieces at this cost are far too slow. Commander is his real home, where the static deathtouch on Warriors creates persistent combat leverage without requiring any activation, and the Naturalize trigger rewards you for doing what creature decks already want to do. Snake and Warrior tribal builds both have legitimate homes here, and Sosuke fits either shell without awkwardness. Oathbreaker is technically legal but too narrow a pool to matter.
