{4}{U}: Target creature can't be blocked this turn.
Predicted power
Standard 0 Eng.FUsr.

Not legal in this format after release.

Pioneer 0 Eng.FUsr.

Not legal in this format after release.

Band illegalConfidence 100%
Modern 6 Eng.FUsr.

A vanilla 2/2 for two has no credible Modern role, and spending five mana for one unblockable attack is far too slow.

Band unplayableConfidence 89%

Could be wrong if An unforeseen Elf or combat-damage shell could create a narrow use, but the card is weak without it.

Legacy 3 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy demands immediate, uniquely efficient impact; this is a 2/2 with an impractically expensive combat ability.

Band unplayableConfidence 93%

Could be wrong if A new tribal payoff could marginally improve it, though its activation remains far off-rate.

Pauper 11 Eng.FUsr.

A two-mana 2/2 is below Pauper's creature standard, and five mana for evasion cannot compete with efficient threats or card advantage.

Band unplayableConfidence 82%

Could be wrong if A slow, creature-clogged metagame could make the repeatable unblockable effect slightly more relevant.

Commander 24 Eng.FUsr.

It can force through a key combat-damage creature, but five mana per use and a fragile 2/2 body make it highly replaceable.

Best home Combat-damage commander decksBand speculativeConfidence 74%

Could be wrong if A commander that strongly rewards repeated player combat damage could make this a niche inclusion.

Limited 55 Eng.C+Usr.

A two-mana 2/2 supports the curve, while the late unblockable activation gives real stall-breaking and mana-sink value.

Best home Blue tempo or evasive decksBand solidConfidence 38%

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, creature sizing, and archetypes could make a plain 2/2 either filler or better-than-average.

Repeatable evasion enabler

“A below-rate 2/2 whose five-mana unblockable activation is primarily Limited flood insurance, not a competitive Constructed effect.”

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