Band illegalConfidence 100%

Modern 17 Eng.FUsr.—

Five mana for a 2/5 without immediate value is far too slow; even go-wide decks need a much stronger payoff.

Band speculativeConfidence 82%

Could be wrong if A presently unsupported creature-token shell could make its attack scaling more relevant.

Legacy 11 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy's efficiency leaves no credible role for a five-mana attacker that neither affects the board immediately nor protects itself.

Band unplayableConfidence 86%

Could be wrong if An unusual fast-mana token strategy could test it, though its floor remains very weak.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—

Commander 23 Eng.FUsr.—

Token decks can make it a large evasive attacker, but five mana for only personal combat scaling is highly replaceable.

Best home Go-wide token decksBand speculativeConfidence 73%

Could be wrong if A commander that rewards a single oversized evasive attacker could raise its niche adoption.

Limited 59 Eng.C+Usr.—

A 2/5 flyer stabilizes well and becomes a meaningful evasive threat whenever a normal board supplies other creatures.

Best home White creature-heavy decksBand solidConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed and removal may punish its five-mana cost or make its board-dependent attack trigger unreliable.

Go-wide evasive attacker

“A slow, board-dependent attacker with little eternal or Commander appeal, but a solid Limited finisher when supported by creatures.”

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