Steadfast Cathar gives a creature +0/+2 until end of turn when it attacks — a combat trick stapled to a 1/1 body for two mana. Narrow, low-impact, and outclassed by nearly every white two-drop with a relevant keyword or enters-the-battlefield effect.

Steadfast Cathar is a fringe Pauper consideration at best, where the bar for two-mana white creatures is still high enough that it rarely makes cuts. In Commander, a one-time +0/+2 pump on attack is invisible at a table of four — this slot wants a persistent anthem, a lord, or a utility creature that replaces itself. Across Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy, Steadfast Cathar doesn't come close to competing with the density of efficient white creatures available.
