{1}, Sacrifice another creature: Draw cards equal to the sacrificed creature's power, then discard a card. When Tom, Bert, and William die, if they were a creature, return them to the battlefield. They're an artifact. (They're no longer a creature.)

Modern 40 Eng.D+Usr.

A resilient 5/5 can become a durable sacrifice outlet, but five mana and the need for valuable fodder are major Modern costs.

Best home Black-green sacrifice shellBand fringeConfidence 47%

Could be wrong if A proven sacrifice/combo shell could make its power-based draw rate far better than its slow initial body suggests.

Legacy 32 Eng.D-Usr.

The repeatable draw outlet is unusual, but a five-mana two-color setup card is slow beside Legacy's cheap engines and interaction.

Best home Fast-mana sacrifice comboBand fringeConfidence 42%

Could be wrong if Fast mana or a creature-recursion shell may make sacrificing high-power creatures profitable enough to overcome the cost.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 58 Eng.C+Usr.

Token and recursion decks can turn large creatures into real cards; surviving creature removal as an artifact meaningfully improves its grindy value.

Best home Golgari aristocratsBand role-playerConfidence 65%

Could be wrong if Five mana, one mana per activation, and a discard requirement may leave it too slow versus cheaper sacrifice outlets and draw engines.

Limited 76 Eng.A-Usr.

A five-mana 5/5 is already strong, and removal leaves an artifact that can convert later creatures into fresh cards and selection.

Best home Black-green creature deckBand first-pickConfidence 52%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, fixing, artifact removal, and sacrifice support could make its costly activated ability less relevant.

Resilient sacrifice draw engine

“A resilient five-mana 5/5 that turns large expendable creatures into substantial card selection and card advantage.”

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