Wildcall

Wildcall drops a creature token with X +1/+1 counters onto the battlefield — the bigger you go, the bigger your threat — and in a format where mana sinks matter, that scalability is real. Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods wants exactly this kind of flexible, counter-loaded creature to trigger its damage effects, and Kitsa, Otterball Elite turns every counter placed into additional value. The verdict: Wildcall earns its slot in green token or counter-matters shells and nowhere else.

Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods
Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods rewards you every time a creature with counters deals damage, and Wildcall delivers a custom-sized body with counters already stacked on it — cast it for X=5 and you're threatening lethal the same turn Yarus untaps.

Wildcall is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but its home is firmly Commander. The format's abundance of mana ramp and lack of pressure to close in four turns lets Wildcall scale to game-ending size in a way competitive formats simply don't allow. In Modern and Pioneer, a sorcery-speed X-spell that makes a single token — no ETB, no immediate board impact — falls far behind cheaper, more proactive threats. Legacy and Vintage have access to it, but the same logic applies with even harsher competition. Play Wildcall in Commander; everywhere else, it's outclassed before it resolves.

Given its narrow competitive footprint and Commander-specific appeal, it typically sits in bulk-to-low-tier territory — worth picking up cheaply if the commander fits, not worth hunting down at a premium.
