A 1/1 needs to survive a turn before looting, while the five-mana sorcery is too slow; it falls below Dryad Arbor (38) and above Skateboard (20).

Band speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if A dense token or disposable-artifact shell could make Burglar's Plot a reliable asymmetric theft spell.

Legacy 23 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy's cheap interaction makes a delayed 1/1 looter unattractive, and a five-mana sorcery swap is far too slow; near Petrified Hamlet (20).

Band speculativeConfidence 73%

Could be wrong if An established shell exploiting cheap permanents as exchange fodder could give the Adventure a niche.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—
Commander 48 Eng.C-Usr.—

Trading a disposable token for an opposing creature or artifact is a real multiplayer payoff, with Bilbo a useful looter; clearly stronger than Rummaging Goblin (22).

Best home Blue token-heavy theft decksBand fringeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if Five mana and a same-type disposable permanent may be too cumbersome versus broader theft and removal options.

Limited 77 Eng.A-Usr.—

Burglar's Plot can trade a token or small creature for the opponent's best permanent, then leaves an evasive looter to cast later—a strong uncommon swing.

Best home Blue decks with creature tokensBand first-pickConfidence 46%

Could be wrong if Unknown token density, speed, and removal may make the exchange setup unreliable or punish the 1/1 body.

Unblockable looter with theft

“Bilbo is a slow synergy card whose five-mana Adventure can create a strong but setup-dependent permanent swap.”

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