Reach This creature can't be blocked by creatures with power 2 or less. Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, draw a card.
Predicted power
Standard 41 Eng.D+Usr.

Llanowar Elves makes six mana plausible, and 6/7 reach plus a draw against targeted removal can stabilize well; lacking trample or an ETB effect limits it.

Best home Mono-Green LandfallBand fringeConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if Green ramp shells may prefer threats with immediate value or stronger closing power, leaving this as an ineffective six-drop.

Pioneer 28 Eng.FUsr.

The body punishes targeted removal and beats small blockers, but six mana with no immediate board swing is too slow for established Pioneer decks.

Band speculativeConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if A ramp-oriented green shell could value its favorable exchange rate against removal more than expected.

Modern 24 Eng.FUsr.

Unlike Modern's successful expensive creatures such as Primeval Titan, it has no immediate payoff; a hard-cast 6/7 is too slow even when removal draws a card.

Band speculativeConfidence 76%

Could be wrong if A new mana-cheating or green ramp shell could make its anti-targeting clause a meaningful sideboard plan.

Legacy 20 Eng.FUsr.

Hard-casting a six-mana creature without an ETB effect is far below Legacy's efficiency bar; drawing on targeted removal does not answer fast combos or sweepers.

Band speculativeConfidence 82%

Could be wrong if A niche mana-acceleration deck could test it as a removal-taxing threat, though no supplied shell supports that.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 35 Eng.DUsr.

It is a sturdy attacker that can replace itself when an opponent uses targeted interaction, but six mana and no immediate card or board impact keep it niche.

Best home Green creature midrangeBand fringeConfidence 57%

Could be wrong if Multiple opponents may target it often enough for the draw trigger to be substantially better than expected.

Limited 78 Eng.A-Usr.

A 6/7 reach body dominates combat, bypasses small blockers, and makes targeted removal costly; it is a premium finisher but lacks trample or immediate impact.

Best home Green-based midrangeBand first-pickConfidence 46%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, removal, and creature sizing could make six mana too slow or make larger blockers more common than expected.

Resilient combat finisher

“A large, evasive-by-board-state green threat that punishes targeted answers, but its six-mana cost and lack of immediate value constrain Constructed use.”

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