Squire's Devotion puts a +1/+1 counter and lifelink on a creature for three mana, then hands you a 1/1 Cleric token — two bodies and a keyword stapled to one card. Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ turns every token and counter into broadcast fuel, which is exactly why this enchantment shows up in 40% of those decks.

Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ
Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ cares about both counters and creature tokens entering the battlefield, so Squire's Devotion pulling double duty — dropping a counter on a creature and spawning a Cleric — triggers that engine twice off a single spell.

Squire's Devotion is a Pauper-legal common, and that's where it sees the most competitive daylight — white Auras and lifegain decks use it as a resilient threat-plus-token package that's hard to trade profitably against. In Commander, it's a role-player rather than a staple: narrow enough that you need a specific token or lifegain payoff to justify the slot, but cheap enough that it earns its place in dedicated Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ builds or Trostani lifegain piles. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern are too fast for a three-mana Aura that doesn't immediately win the game.

Price Context
Current price
$0.21 bulk tier
At $0.21, Squire's Devotion is deep bulk — you'll find it in a dollar bin before you'd bother ordering it. Bulk commons rarely move on price unless a new commander pushes mass demand, so don't expect this to appreciate; just pick up copies as you need them.
