Soul Separator pays five mana to split a creature card in your graveyard into two tokens — a 4/4 black Zombie with the power and toughness, and a white Spirit with the abilities and flying. That's a lot of value extraction from a single artifact activation, and any deck that fills the graveyard reliably will find immediate use for it.

Soul Separator is a Commander card through and through — the five-mana activated ability is too slow for Legacy or Modern, where graveyards get hated out before you can capitalize, and Pioneer's faster clocks make the setup cost prohibitive. In Commander, the math flips: you have the turns to set up a graveyard, the mana to activate, and opponents who will absolutely care that a legendary creature with game-warping abilities just became two separate threats. The Spirit retaining abilities is the real payoff — commanders or high-text creatures gain flying and dodge most removal that targets the original card type.
