Prowess When you cast your second noncreature spell in a turn, conjure a card named Mox Sapphire into your hand. This ability triggers only once. {2}{U}: Target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost.

Cheap and free spells can cash this in immediately; Mox Sapphire plus prowess is a strong, likely regular engine payoff for Izzet spell decks.

Could be wrong if If removal or insufficient free spells makes the trigger unreliable, it is merely a slow 3/3; a new combo shell could also exceed this estimate.

Legacy 63 Eng.B-Usr.

Legacy's free spells make the Mox trigger accessible, but a vulnerable three-mana creature must overcome Daze, Force of Will, and efficient removal.

Could be wrong if A compact spell-combo shell could exploit multiple Collector copies far better than existing tempo lists.

UR spellslinger decks can readily unlock a Mox and later rebuy spells; it is potent, but restricted to red, spell-heavy decks.

Could be wrong if Faster mana and recursion may be preferred, while multiplayer removal can prevent the trigger.

Limited 66 Eng.BUsr.

A 3/3 prowess creature is solid, while a spells-heavy UR deck gains a Mox and costly late spell recursion; both rewards need setup and blue mana.

Could be wrong if Unknown spell density, UR support, and removal determine whether its rewards outweigh the baseline 3/3 prowess body.

Spells-matter mana engine

“A fragile spells-matter three-drop whose one-time Mox Sapphire payoff is powerful but requires double-spelling.”

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