CommentsStandard 61 Eng.B-Usr.—
Green creature decks can deploy this ahead of curve; if it survives, one discounted flash creature on each turn cycle generates substantial tempo.
Could be wrong if Aggro decks may lack the time, creature density, or worthwhile curve-toppers to justify a four-mana setup card.
Pioneer 43 Eng.D+Usr.—
The discount-and-flash engine is powerful after untapping, but a four-mana 2/5 with no immediate value is a demanding rate in Pioneer.
Could be wrong if A dense creature shell that can protect it and exploit both turns could make it a recurring role-player.
Modern 31 Eng.D-Usr.—
Its unusual static ability merits testing in creature-heavy combo shells, but investing four mana in a 2/5 before value is a major Modern liability.
Could be wrong if An existing shell with enough cheap creatures and protection could convert its flash clause into a stronger tempo engine.
Legacy 26 Eng.FUsr.—
Acceleration may permit experiments, but {G}{G}, no immediate payoff, and efficient interaction leave this four-mana engine poorly positioned.
Could be wrong if A green accelerated creature shell could exploit repeated discounts more effectively than expected.
Commander 67 Eng.BUsr.—
Creature-heavy decks can use a two-mana reduction on each player's turn, while granting flash turns held creatures into meaningful interaction.
Could be wrong if It is fragile, costs four mana, and is much weaker in decks unable to consistently cast creatures on opponents' turns.
Limited 76 Eng.A-Usr.—
A 2/5 stabilizes the board, then repeated discounts and surprise blockers create major tempo; it is a strong first pick, not a self-contained bomb.
Could be wrong if Unknown removal density, format speed, and creature curves could make its delayed payoff substantially less reliable.
“A fragile four-mana engine that turns later creatures into discounted flash threats when its controller has enough creature density.”
AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
