Wu Elite Cavalry is a five-mana 3/3 with horsemanship — evasion that's nearly unblockable in most pods but restricted to a card pool few decks are built around. The cost is real: five mana for a 3/3 with no enters-the-battlefield effect is well below rate by any modern standard.

In Commander, Wu Elite Cavalry is a fringe role-player at best — horsemanship is effective evasion since almost nothing else has it, but a vanilla 3/3 for five with no other text doesn't pull weight in a 100-card singleton format where every slot competes hard. Legacy and Vintage are legal but completely uninterested; five mana for this body and ability doesn't touch either format's power floor. Pauper is where Wu Elite Cavalry has the most theoretical niche — horsemanship is rare at common, so the evasion is genuinely hard to answer — but the stats still lag behind what aggressive or midrange Pauper lists want for five mana.
