Sungold Sentinel hits the board as a 3/2 for two mana that can permanently exile graveyards one at a time — relevant pressure and graveyard hate stapled to the same body. The coven upside is conditional, but even without it, the baseline rate is clean enough to run in aggressive white lists.

In Commander, Sungold Sentinel occupies a niche: it's repeatable graveyard interaction on a creature, which means it dies to removal but also triggers off combat, letting aggressive decks police reanimation strategies without dedicating non-creature slots to the job. Modern and Pioneer have more efficient two-drops competing for the same slot, and graveyard hate there typically wants to be faster and harder to interact with — Sungold Sentinel's conditional coven clause is a real liability in those formats. Legacy and Vintage have enough raw power density that a 3/2 for two needs to do more than this to earn a slot.
