Vigilance Sacrifice this creature: Destroy target artifact or enchantment. If that permanent was a legendary enchantment, draw a card. Activate only as a sorcery.
Predicted power
Standard 39 Eng.DUsr.

A 3/3 vigilance creature is serviceable, but sorcery-speed self-sacrifice makes this artifact/enchantment answer slow and narrow for competitive maindecks.

Best home Mono Green Landfall sideboardBand fringeConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if Could improve if legendary enchantments or key artifact targets become prevalent after the remaining set is revealed.

Pioneer 24 Eng.FUsr.

Three mana and sacrificing the creature for delayed, sorcery-speed removal is inefficient beside Pioneer’s established cheap permanent interaction.

Band speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if Creature-toolbox shells or a major artifact/enchantment metagame could make a tutorable answer more useful.

Modern 21 Eng.FUsr.

It is a potentially searchable answer, but a three-mana 3/3 that must be sacrificed at sorcery speed is far below Modern’s normal interaction rate.

Best home Creatures Toolbox sideboardBand speculativeConfidence 76%

Could be wrong if A toolbox list may value the creature type and broad target range more than ordinary green decks do.

Legacy 16 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy demands substantially cheaper or more immediate interaction; this creature is too slow as both a threat and an artifact/enchantment answer.

Band speculativeConfidence 80%

Could be wrong if An unusually important permanent-based matchup could create a very narrow sideboard use.

Pauper 33 Eng.D-Usr.

Common legality matters, and the 3/3 vigilance body gives this more utility than a blank Naturalize, but three mana and self-sacrifice remain costly.

Could be wrong if Its standing depends heavily on whether artifacts and enchantments remain common enough targets in Pauper.

Commander 47 Eng.C-Usr.

Repeatable creature recursion can turn its sacrifice into useful broad removal, while the legendary-enchantment clause offers occasional card replacement.

Best home Green creature-recursion decksBand role-playerConfidence 68%

Could be wrong if It is highly replaceable by cheaper permanent removal unless recursion synergy is central to the deck.

Limited 64 Eng.B-Usr.

A three-mana 3/3 with vigilance is a strong baseline, and it can cash itself in for an opposing artifact or enchantment when that is more valuable.

Best home Green midrange decksBand solidConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Unknown set speed and artifact/enchantment density determine how often the removal mode is relevant.

Creature-based permanent removal

“A solid Limited body with optional permanent removal, but its slow sacrifice clause limits competitive Constructed appeal.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
