Stalking Stones is a land that can become a 3/3 creature for six mana — colorless, slow, and fragile once animated. It's a niche include that earns a slot only in decks that specifically reward lands entering the battlefield or want spare combat threats without spending a card.

In Commander, Stalking Stones sees play almost exclusively in land-matters strategies — Kodama of the East Tree, Lore Drakkis, or any commander that generates value from lands entering or being sacrificed. Legacy and Vintage have moved past it entirely; faster threats and better utility lands make Stalking Stones irrelevant in those formats. Modern technically allows it, but nothing there is looking to pay six mana for a 3/3 with no keywords when cheaper options exist. The real home is niche Commander builds that want every land to pull double duty.
