Lifelink At the beginning of your end step, if you gained life this turn, surveil 1. If you put a card with mana value less than or equal to the amount of life you gained this turn into your graveyard this way, put that card into your hand.
Predicted power
Standard 42 Eng.D+Usr.

Selesnya Aggro can test it as a two-drop; an unanswered lifelink hit can turn surveil into a cheap card, but its 2/1 body and delayed trigger are fragile.

Best home Selesnya AggroBand fringeConfidence 55%

Could be wrong if It improves if reliable life-gain triggers or protection emerge; it falls if one-toughness attackers rarely connect.

Pioneer 29 Eng.FUsr.

No supplied Pioneer shell clearly wants a delayed 2/1 engine. Self-lifelink can produce filtered cards after combat, but removal and board pressure make its floor poor.

Band speculativeConfidence 64%

Could be wrong if A low-curve white lifegain shell could make repeated end-step selection substantially more reliable.

Modern 24 Eng.FUsr.

Boros Aggro is the plausible test bed, but a two-mana 2/1 with no immediate effect must survive combat and an end step before producing value.

Best home Boros AggroBand speculativeConfidence 71%

Could be wrong if It could rise if its low-mana-value recursion proves uniquely exploitable; no such support is supplied.

Legacy 20 Eng.FUsr.

Boros Aggro could test it, but requiring both survival to the end step and a combat connection makes its card advantage too slow and exposed.

Could be wrong if A dense lifegain shell or unusually favorable creature matchup could make the repeated selection matter more.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 49 Eng.C-Usr.

Lifegain decks can trigger it consistently and turn surveil into recurring low-cost cards; its fragile body and once-per-turn ceiling keep it specialized.

Best home Lifegain decksBand role-playerConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if It rises with dense repeatable lifegain engines, but optimized lists may prefer immediate and more resilient draw.

Limited 61 Eng.B-Usr.

A two-mana lifelinker normally makes white decks, and an unblocked attack can filter then recover a cheap card; one toughness keeps it answerable.

Best home White aggressive decksBand solidConfidence 37%

Could be wrong if Draft speed, removal density, and lifegain support are unknown, so its ability to attack repeatedly is uncertain.

Conditional lifegain draw engine

“A fragile two-drop that can turn repeated life gain into filtered card advantage, but needs to survive and connect.”

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