Zar Ojanen, Scion of Efrava card art
Zar Ojanen, Scion of Efrava puts a 2/2 Cat Warrior token into play every time a creature with power greater than or equal to its toughness enters under your control — which in most green-white go-wide or +1/+1 counter builds means tokens accumulating fast. The cost is four mana for a 4/4 with vigilance, which is a fair rate but not a free lunch.

Zar Ojanen, Scion of Efrava is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but its real home is Commander — specifically Selesnya or any Abzan/Naya shell that floods the board with counters or high-power creatures. In 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, four mana for a value-engine creature that doesn't win the game immediately is too slow against proactive threats, and the token trigger requires board presence to snowball. Commander gives Zar Ojanen the time and the creature density to generate meaningful advantage, especially under generals like Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second or any counter-stacking commander where power routinely outpaces toughness.
