Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods card art
Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods turns every morphed or manifested creature into a free trample threat — flip something like Ashcloud Phoenix and you're netting mana, damage, and board presence in one attack step. The cost is real: you need a critical mass of face-down creatures to make the engine hum, which means Kaust, Eyes of the Glade and similar commanders are doing far more work with this card than a generic Gruul pile would.

Kaust, Eyes of the Glade was built for Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods — Kaust's ability to manifest creatures face-down every combat means Yarus has a constant stream of triggers, turning what would be vanilla 2/2s into trampling monsters before they even flip.

Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods is legal everywhere except Pauper, but Commander is the only format where it actually belongs. In 60-card competitive formats — Modern, Pioneer, Legacy — morph and manifest strategies don't have the density or redundancy to make a five-mana legendary payoff viable, and faster threats dominate before Yarus can matter. Commander is the sweet spot: the longer game, the 99-card toolbox, and the ability to run Yarus as the commander itself (or in the 99 of a morph-centric build) all give the engine room to breathe. Oathbreaker is technically viable but five mana is a steep signature-spell budget, so expect it to see fringe play there at best.
