Modern 22 Eng.FUsr.

Three mana against an attacker is still far behind Modern removal; unlike Dismember, it has no cheap proactive use.

Band speculativeConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if A creature-heavy metagame where library placement is uniquely valuable could create a narrow sideboard role.

Legacy 17 Eng.FUsr.

Even discounted, this is a three-mana reactive answer in a format where Force of Will and cheaper removal set the bar.

Band speculativeConfidence 78%

Could be wrong if It could see isolated sideboard testing if library removal matters against a specific creature strategy.

Pauper 41 Eng.D+Usr.

A three-mana instant answer to an attacking nontoken creature is plausible control-sideboard material, but token misses and four-mana floor constrain it.

Best home Blue controlBand fringeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if Its clean answer to death triggers and large creatures may prove more valuable than the mana rate suggests.

Commander 33 Eng.D-Usr.

Permanent library removal has utility, but four mana and commander-zone replacement make it a narrow alternative to broader interaction.

Best home Reactive blue controlBand fringeConfidence 66%

Could be wrong if Creature-centric tables may make the attacking discount reliable enough for wider inclusion.

Limited 62 Eng.B-Usr.

Instant-speed removal for a nontoken creature is solid, often costing three once combat starts, though it cannot answer tokens.

Best home Any blue deckBand solidConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, token prevalence, and available removal could move this between replacement-level and premium.

Creature library removal

“A costly but permanent answer to nontoken creatures, with a meaningful discount only when used defensively.”

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