Ward—Discard an enchantment, instant, or sorcery card. Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, each opponent mills two cards. When one or more cards are milled this way, exile target enchantment, instant, or sorcery card with equal or lesser mana value than that spell from an opponent's graveyard. Copy the exiled card. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.
Predicted power
Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—
Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—
Modern 11 Eng.FUsr.—

Six mana in three colors with no ETB effect is too slow; its trigger also needs an opponent's usable graveyard card.

Could be wrong if A new efficient Esper reanimation or second-spell shell could make its copied spells worth the setup.

Legacy 9 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy's cheap engines and interaction leave little room for a six-mana creature that needs later spells and enemy graveyard setup.

Band unplayableConfidence 80%

Could be wrong if Fast mana or reanimation could enable a niche shell if copying graveyard interaction proves unusually strong.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—
Commander 59 Eng.C+Usr.—

A warded six-mana engine can repeatedly mill several opponents and cast their spells for free when a spellslinger deck pairs casts.

Could be wrong if It has no immediate value, needs mana for follow-up spells, and opponents may lack worthwhile eligible graveyard cards.

Limited 72 Eng.B+Usr.—

A 5/4 with meaningful ward is a strong top-end threat, and each second spell can turn milling into major free-spell advantage.

Could be wrong if Unknown fixing, speed, and removal matter greatly; demanding three colors and no immediate trigger may lower its consistency.

“A costly Esper engine whose delayed, opponent-dependent free spell copies are compelling in multiplayer but implausibly slow for eternal Constructed.”

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