Vaevictis Asmadi hits the board as a 7/7 flying, trample, haste that immediately forces a three-way permanent sacrifice and replaces each with the top card of each player's library — that's a board-warping trigger stapled to a threat that attacks the same turn it lands. The cost is six mana in three colors and a symmetrical effect you don't fully control, which means the deck has to be built to abuse what it flips.

Commander is the only competitive home for Vaevictis Asmadi. The symmetrical sacrifice trigger rewards builds stuffed with high-value permanents on top — token generators, planeswalkers, extra land payoffs — and punishes opponents who are running nonland permanents they can't afford to lose. Legacy and Vintage are legal formats on paper, but a six-mana 7/7 with no protection doesn't clear the bar in either; you're never casting this in a format where Force of Will is free. Vaevictis Asmadi is a Commander card through and through: big stats, splashy trigger, and enough chaos to thrive in the multiplayer political environment where one trigger hits three boards at once.

unknown tier
Pricing data isn't available for Vaevictis Asmadi right now, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for the current market rate. As a six-mana legendary dragon with a narrow build-around trigger, demand is driven almost entirely by Commander players, which tends to keep the ceiling modest unless a breakout deck pushes it.
