Su-Chi card art
Su-Chi hits the table as a 4/4 for four mana — nothing flashy on its own, but the death trigger that dumps four colorless mana into your pool is what makes it matter. Pair it with Nim Deathmantle and any free sacrifice outlet and you have an infinite loop that most artifact-themed Commander decks are happy to build around.

Commander is where Su-Chi earns its keep — artifact-heavy decks helmed by commanders that care about sacrifice, reanimation, or mana generation find real value in the death trigger, and the colorless mana requirement means it slots into any color identity. In Legacy and Vintage, Su-Chi is legal but competes in formats full of faster, more broken options, so it sees virtually no play there. Outside those formats it isn't legal, which makes Commander essentially its entire competitive home.
