War Squeak puts a 1/1 Mouse token with haste onto the battlefield every time you attack — that's sustained token production stapled to your combat step at no additional mana cost. Mabel, Heir to Cragflame runs it in over 44% of decks because the synergy is that direct: attack, make a Mouse, trigger Mabel again.

War Squeak is a Commander card through and through — the value compounds over a long game where you're attacking repeatedly, and the Mouse tokens synergize with aristocrats, go-wide anthems, and creature-count payoffs that define the format. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern or Pioneer, a 1/1 token per attack is too slow and too low-impact to earn a slot over purpose-built aggro pieces. Pauper is the one non-Commander format where War Squeak could see fringe play in token-based strategies, but it hasn't broken through there either. Stick to Commander.
