Reach, trample When this creature enters, attach target Equipment you control to up to one target creature you control.
Predicted power
Standard 27 Eng.FUsr.

A 4/5 reach trampler is serviceable, but five mana and no inherent immediate impact make the one-time equip discount too conditional for current competitive shells.

Best home Equipment midrangeBand speculativeConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if Powerful Equipment or a dedicated shell from the unrevealed set could make the attachment trigger materially stronger.

Pioneer 16 Eng.FUsr.

Pioneer punishes a five-mana creature that neither disrupts nor generates cards; the Equipment trigger lacks a supplied competitive shell.

Band speculativeConfidence 76%

Could be wrong if A resilient Equipment strategy able to exploit the trigger repeatedly or cheaply could create a narrow home.

Modern 9 Eng.FUsr.

Five mana for combat stats and a conditional one-shot equip is far below Modern’s required immediate impact and efficiency.

Band unplayableConfidence 84%

Could be wrong if An overlooked Equipment combo or unusually reliable cheat-into-play shell would be needed for adoption.

Legacy 5 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy’s efficient threats and interaction leave no credible role for a five-mana fair creature with only a conditional attachment effect.

Band unplayableConfidence 88%

Could be wrong if Only a presently unsupported Equipment-specific combo or cheating mechanism could change this.

Pauper 21 Eng.FUsr.

Its 4/5 reach and trample are respectable, but five mana without card advantage or immediate removal is unlikely to displace Pauper’s more efficient threats.

Band speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if A red Equipment shell with high equip costs could value the free attachment more than expected.

Commander 46 Eng.C-Usr.

Equipment decks can convert the ETB into meaningful mana savings while receiving a relevant body, but it is a one-shot, expensive, and replaceable payoff.

Best home Boros EquipmentBand role-playerConfidence 71%

Could be wrong if Its standing depends on available Equipment density and whether cheaper repeatable auto-equip effects crowd it out.

Limited 63 Eng.B-Usr.

A 4/5 with reach and trample stabilizes well and attacks through smaller creatures; an Equipment already in play makes its ETB a valuable tempo swing.

Best home Red-based midrangeBand solidConfidence 45%

Could be wrong if Unknown set speed, removal quality, and Equipment density could move this from solid to ordinary five-mana filler.

Equipment attachment threat

“A sturdy but slow five-drop whose single free Equipment attachment needs unusually strong gear to matter competitively.”

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