Klingon Strike Force

{3}{R}{R} · Creature — Klingon Warrior
Rare · Star Trek Commander · Art by Fahmi Fauzi

Trample (This creature can deal excess combat damage to the player it's attacking.) Haste (This creature can attack and {T} as soon as it comes under your control.) When this creature dies, it deals 2 damage to each opponent.

Predicted power

Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—

Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—

Modern 20 Eng.FUsr.—

A five-mana creature that only attacks is too slow against Modern's efficient threats and interaction. Like Wistfulness at 20, it lacks the immediate value needed at this cost.

Band speculativeConfidence 76%

Could be wrong if A dedicated cheat-into-play or sacrifice shell could value haste plus the death-damage trigger more than expected.

Legacy 16 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy demands unusually efficient, free, or uniquely resilient five-drops. This is merely a fair combat creature and compares poorly to the format's powerful alternatives.

Band speculativeConfidence 82%

Could be wrong if Ancient Tomb-based red prison strategies could test it if their existing finishers become poorly positioned.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—

Commander 34 Eng.D-Usr.—

Haste and a death trigger hitting every opponent give it a niche in sacrifice decks, but five mana for a one-shot 5/5 and six total damage is readily replaceable.

Best home Rakdos sacrificeBand fringeConfidence 63%

Could be wrong if Further Klingon, sacrifice, or death-trigger support could make its body and death trigger materially more valuable.

Limited 79 Eng.A-Usr.—

A 5/5 haste trample swings boards immediately, attacks through smaller creatures, and leaves two damage on death. It is premium but removable and not an automatic win.

Best home Red aggressive or midrange decksBand first-pickConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, removal density, and creature sizing could make five mana either much safer or substantially clunkier.

Hasty red finisher

“A clean Limited rare, but a five-mana combat threat needs a slower or more creature-focused shell to matter in 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.
