When The Notary Hobbits enter, if they're not a token, create two tokens that are copies of them, except the tokens aren't legendary. {T}: Add {C} for each Halfling you control.
Predicted power
Standard 53 Eng.CUsr.

A surviving trio produces nine colorless mana next turn, but the five-mana setup and fragile 1/1 bodies keep it below Mightform Harmonizer (56).

Best home Mono-Green LandfallBand fringeConfidence 55%

Could be wrong if Green ramp may have enough costly payoffs and protection to make the delayed mana burst a regular competitive plan.

Pioneer 38 Eng.DUsr.

Nine mana after untapping is powerful, but a five-mana 1/1-based engine is far too slow and exposed for established Pioneer decks; below Beza (65).

Band speculativeConfidence 63%

Could be wrong if A new Halfling shell or combo payoff could make surviving with two or three copies materially more rewarding.

Modern 29 Eng.FUsr.

It must resolve, survive a full turn, and retain multiple 1/1s before paying off; that is much slower than Modern's effective five-mana options such as Sowing Mycospawn (78).

Band speculativeConfidence 71%

Could be wrong if An efficient untap or creature-combo shell could turn the three mana abilities into a meaningful burst engine.

Legacy 25 Eng.FUsr.

Fast mana can deploy it early, but Legacy's cheap removal and fast wins punish a five-mana engine that cannot tap until next turn; only modestly above Quantum Riddler (18).

Band speculativeConfidence 75%

Could be wrong if A resilient fast-mana combo shell may value nine colorless mana enough to protect the Hobbits for one turn.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 68 Eng.BUsr.

Its own entry produces three Halflings that make nine mana after an untap, and additional Halflings scale the output sharply in dedicated creature decks.

Best home Halfling tribal and untap decksBand competitiveConfidence 68%

Could be wrong if Five mana, no immediate mana, colorless-only output, and vulnerability to sweepers may make it too slow outside dedicated shells.

Limited 69 Eng.BUsr.

Three bodies stabilize or enable sacrifice, while untapping with all three gives nine mana for major double-spell turns; it is a strong early pick despite weak stats.

Best home Green token or sacrifice deckBand premiumConfidence 46%

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, sweepers, and available colorless sinks could leave the mana ability less relevant than its ceiling suggests.

Delayed Halfling mana engine

“A five-mana delayed mana engine that makes three fragile 1/1 Halflings and can generate nine colorless mana after an untap.”

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