{4}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: It deals 5 damage to target creature.
Predicted power
Standard Eng.NLUsr.
Pioneer Eng.NLUsr.
Modern 17 Eng.FUsr.

Six total mana across turns for one creature is far too slow for Modern; its colorless artifact body does not offset the tempo loss.

Band speculativeConfidence 82%

Could be wrong if An unshown artifact-sacrifice shell could value a tutorable removal artifact more than normal decks do.

Legacy 12 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy demands much cheaper or more disruptive interaction; delayed four-mana activation removal has no credible competitive role.

Band unplayableConfidence 86%

Could be wrong if A niche artifact engine could make the sacrifice clause relevant, but no such support is supplied.

Pauper 25 Eng.FUsr.

Grixis Affinity can value the artifact count, but four mana to cash in for 5 damage is markedly behind Pauper's efficient removal.

Could be wrong if If 5-toughness creatures and artifact synergies become unusually important, it could earn a narrow slot.

Commander 27 Eng.FUsr.

It is colorless removal with a sacrifice trigger, but four mana for only 5 damage is too inefficient against typical multiplayer boards.

Best home Artifact-sacrifice decksBand speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if Dense artifact recursion or sacrifice payoffs could make its low-cost artifact body more valuable than its removal rate.

Limited 58 Eng.C+Usr.

Cast early, it can later kill most creatures at instant speed; the delayed four-mana activation keeps it solid rather than premium removal.

Best home Any deck needing removalBand solidConfidence 43%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, artifact removal, and creature toughness distribution could make the activation too slow or unusually effective.

Delayed artifact removal

“A colorless but slow five-damage removal artifact, with Limited utility but little efficient constructed appeal.”

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