Tourach's Chant locks opponents out of green mana by destroying lands — as long as you can keep an enchantment in play and they keep making Forest drops, the cumulative upkeep holds a real threat over their head. The catch is that any Forest-type land, including Dryad Arbor, breaks the trigger condition and kills it immediately if you can't pay.

Tourach's Chant is a Legacy and Vintage curiosity — green is ubiquitous in those formats, but the cumulative upkeep makes sustained use expensive, and dedicated land destruction strategies have more efficient tools. In Commander, it occupies a narrow hate-piece role: it punishes green-heavy pods and synergizes with enchantress builds that generate value just from having it in play, but it rarely wins games on its own. Oathbreaker shares Commander's multiplayer dynamics, so the same logic applies.
