This spell can't be countered. Hexproof, haste
Predicted power
Standard 50 Eng.CUsr.

Llanowar Elves makes it a plausible top-end threat: haste and hexproof punish control, but seven mana and no trample leave it vulnerable to chump blocks and sweepers.

Best home Mono Green LandfallBand fringeConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if Additional green ramp or Ferocious payoffs could make a protected 10-power haste threat a more reliable finisher.

Pioneer 40 Eng.D+Usr.

Closest to Carnage Tyrant (43): haste and size help, but costing a seventh mana and losing trample makes it a narrow ramp or anti-control test.

Best home Green ramp shellsBand fringeConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if A credible ramp shell with room for a dedicated anti-control threat could sustain sideboard adoption.

Modern 28 Eng.FUsr.

Modern reanimation finishers such as Atraxa and Archon provide immediate value; this is only combat damage, can be chumped, and is poor when hard-cast.

Band speculativeConfidence 75%

Could be wrong if A resilient hasty reanimation target could prove useful if targeted removal and counterspells become unusually prevalent.

Legacy 19 Eng.FUsr.

It is far below Legacy cheat targets such as Griselbrand and Atraxa: 10 hasty damage without evasion or an ETB effect is not a compelling payoff.

Band speculativeConfidence 79%

Could be wrong if A niche Sneak Show-style list could want its unusual protection against counterspells and targeted removal.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 36 Eng.DUsr.

Hexproof plus haste makes a respectable protected finisher, but no trample, evasion, card advantage, or multiplayer scaling leaves it highly replaceable.

Best home Green creature-combat decksBand fringeConfidence 65%

Could be wrong if Combat-focused green decks may value its immediate 10-power pressure more highly than expected.

Limited 86 Eng.AUsr.

A 10/7 haste creature that targeted removal cannot answer dominates combat immediately; chump blocks and seven mana keep it from being completely oppressive.

Best home Green-based midrangeBand bombConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, fixing, and mass-removal density could make seven mana too slow or reduce hexproof's value.

Protected hasty finisher

“A huge resilient combat threat, but seven mana and no evasion or immediate card advantage sharply limit constructed adoption.”

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