Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, any number of target players each mill X cards, where X is twice the number of Crabs, Lobsters, Nautiluses, Starfish, and/or Trilobites you control.

Modern 35 Eng.DUsr.

Fetchlands improve its landfall output, but a three-mana creature that needs other named creatures and survives only to later triggers is a narrow test card.

Could be wrong if If Modern has enough cheap Crab bodies, fetchland sequences could make Homer a potent low-copy mill payoff.

Legacy 27 Eng.FUsr.

Fetchlands offer explosive theoretical triggers, but BUG mana, three mana, and reliance on a developed tribal board are major liabilities in Legacy.

Could be wrong if A compact Crab-and-fetch shell with strong protection could turn its landfall multiplier into a credible niche plan.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 61 Eng.B-Usr.

As a BUG commander or engine, it converts each landfall into scalable multiplayer mill after a tribal board develops, while its 0/9 body buys time.

Could be wrong if It supplies neither extra land drops nor creatures itself, so the tribal and landfall setup may prove too resource-intensive.

Limited 37 Eng.DUsr.

A 0/9 can stall combat, but strict three-color mana and a mill trigger that is tiny without multiple matching creatures make it narrow filler.

Could be wrong if Unknown fixing, creature-type density, and graveyard payoffs could materially raise or lower its Limited value.

Tribal landfall mill engine

“Homer is a slow, tribe-dependent landfall mill engine: potentially potent with a developed board, but poor alone.”

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