Woodcutter's Grit gives a creature +3/+3 and hexproof until end of turn for three mana — a combat trick that doubles as protection against targeted removal. It's a fine trick in Limited and niche Commander applications, but three mana is a steep ask for a single-use instant with no lasting board presence.

Woodcutter's Grit sees its most plausible homes in Pauper and Limited, where three mana for a +3/+3 hexproof effect can swing combat or save a key creature at common rarity. In Commander, the effect doesn't scale — protecting one creature for a turn rarely changes the outcome of a four-player game, and the three-mana cost competes with actual threats. Legacy, Vintage, and Modern have far more efficient protection spells, so Woodcutter's Grit doesn't register in those formats competitively.
