Standard Eng.NLUsr.
Pioneer Eng.NLUsr.
Modern 31 Eng.D-Usr.

A 3/1 offers some pressure, but sorcery-speed self-sacrifice is a slow, removal-vulnerable answer versus Modern's efficient artifact/enchantment hate.

Best home White creature aggro sideboardsBand fringeConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if A prominent artifact or enchantment target could make a maindeckable attacker-answer package worthwhile.

Legacy 24 Eng.FUsr.

It is less immediate than Legacy's cheap hate; even relative to Erode's 30, needing to deploy and sacrifice a creature is a major tempo cost.

Best home White creature aggro sideboardsBand speculativeConfidence 68%

Could be wrong if A new artifact/enchantment permanent that must be answered through creature-based decks could create a narrow role.

Pauper 46 Eng.C-Usr.

Unlike Masked Vandal, it lacks immediate ETB removal and must die for the effect, but a reliable 3/1 body can support a metagame-dependent maindeck slot.

Best home White aggressive decksBand fringeConfidence 63%

Could be wrong if White's depth of cheaper interaction and the prevalence of worthwhile artifacts/enchantments determine whether it earns slots.

Commander 28 Eng.FUsr.

A disposable Human Knight can be recurried, but sacrificing a card for sorcery-speed narrow removal is far below premium multiplayer interaction.

Best home Human sacrifice-recursion decksBand speculativeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if Unexpectedly strong sacrifice or creature-recursion support could make its body and death cost more exploitable.

Limited 56 Eng.C+Usr.

A two-mana 3/1 is a meaningful early attacker; trading it for an artifact or enchantment is situational but useful insurance rather than a primary draw.

Best home White aggressive decksBand solidConfidence 42%

Could be wrong if Unknown creature sizing, removal density, and artifact/enchantment prevalence could move it from solid to replacement-level.

Aggressive disenchant creature

“A serviceable 3/1 two-drop whose sorcery-speed self-sacrifice makes its artifact/enchantment removal mostly a Limited or niche-board tool.”

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