Vestige of Emrakul is a 3/2 trampler with devoid and annihilator 1 for four mana — real board presence backed by a forced sacrifice trigger every time it attacks. Four mana for a 3/2 is below rate, but annihilator 1 on a common is the whole story.

In Commander, Vestige of Emrakul earns a slot in Eldrazi tribal decks that want annihilator redundancy at the low end of the curve, and sacrifice-matters shells treat the forced sacrifice as a feature rather than incidental pressure. In Pauper, a four-mana 3/2 trample with annihilator 1 is genuinely disruptive — the format's resources are thin enough that sacrificing even one permanent a turn can swing a game. Across Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer, Vestige of Emrakul is too slow and too small to compete; those formats have better threats at the same cost and better interaction to answer it.
