Starving Revenant

In Commander, Starving Revenant is at its ceiling — four opponents draw cards every turn, and the cumulative life loss from a single resolved copy can be decisive without any active effort. Competitive and casual tables alike run enough draw that the card rarely sits idle. In constructed formats like Modern and Pioneer, it's a niche sideboard threat against storm and cantrip-heavy control strategies, but it demands a faster clock than it provides on its own. Standard legality gives it a home in aggressive black shells, though the slower opponent draw density makes it less reliable as a standalone win condition. Legacy and Vintage have the raw cantrip volume to punish, but Starving Revenant is simply too slow for those formats' kill speeds.
