Thalisse, Reverent Medium in Commander

Thalisse, Reverent Medium is built for Commander and that's where she performs — a four-mana enchantment-adjacent creature that rewards going wide with tokens is exactly the kind of sustained value engine multiplayer games demand. The end-step trigger scales directly with how many players are generating tokens, and in a 100-card singleton format there are dozens of enablers that make her consistently powerful. In Legacy and Vintage she's technically legal but sees no competitive play; those formats are too fast and too hostile to a 3/4 that requires a board state to do anything. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander format where she's worth considering, particularly as the signature spell slot opens up instant-speed token generation that fires her trigger reliably.
