Twenty-two revealed surveil cards support threshold, and a 3-mana 5/5 menace is a meaningful payoff; the discard mode also prevents total dead draws.

Could be wrong if Dimir lists may not reach seven graveyard cards early enough, or efficient removal may make a delayed vanilla threat expendable.

Graveyard-focused shells can satisfy threshold, but this neither enables nor protects their main plan; it is chiefly a conditional secondary threat.

Could be wrong if A dedicated self-mill shell could make the rate compelling, while established graveyard decks may have no room for a fair three-drop.

A 5/5 menace is efficient once live, but seven cards plus three mana for no immediate effect is a poor fit for Modern's fast, focused decks.

Could be wrong if A graveyard deck with spare threat slots could reach threshold cheaply enough for this to become a recurring side threat.

Cantrips and fetchlands can fill graves, but a cast-only conditional three-mana attacker lacks the immediacy and resilience Legacy threats require.

Could be wrong if Fast threshold in a black tempo shell could make the stats more relevant than expected, though the card remains vulnerable to cheap interaction.

Self-mill makes threshold routine, but a three-mana attacker without card advantage or a lasting engine is highly replaceable in multiplayer.

Could be wrong if A more creature-combat-focused graveyard deck may value the cheap 5/5 menace and incidental discard outlet more than expected.

The threshold delay is real, but abundant revealed surveil plus a 3-mana 5/5 menace makes this a strong payoff; the discard mode has situational value.

Could be wrong if Unknown draft speed, black enablers, and removal may make seven graveyard cards too slow or make the large body less decisive.
