Uncommon · Star Trek Commander · Art by Lie Setiawan

When Pelia enters, return target creature an opponent controls to its owner's hand.

Predicted power

Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—

Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—

Modern 22 Eng.FUsr.—

A four-mana 3/3 with a one-shot bounce effect is slower and lower-impact than Modern's normal interaction; only a fringe blink test is plausible.

Band speculativeConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if A newly supported blink shell could make its ETB rate acceptable, but no such support is supplied.

Legacy 19 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy's mana efficiency makes a four-mana temporary creature answer unattractive, even if blink effects can reuse the trigger.

Band speculativeConfidence 75%

Could be wrong if Unexpected efficient recursion or a creature-heavy metagame could create a narrow blink role.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—

Commander 36 Eng.DUsr.—

Blink decks can repeatedly turn Pelia into tempo and protect their board, but four mana for nonpermanent creature interaction is replaceable.

Best home Azorius blinkBand fringeConfidence 68%

Could be wrong if Its score rises if the set supplies unusually strong Artificer or ETB-recursion support.

Limited 64 Eng.B-Usr.—

A 3/3 that removes a blocker or attacker for a turn creates a meaningful tempo swing and is normally a solid inclusion, not a bomb.

Best home Blue tempo decksBand solidConfidence 42%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, removal, and ETB density could make bouncing opposing creatures much better or worse.

ETB creature bounce

“Pelia is a Limited-friendly tempo creature, but four mana for a temporary bounce effect is far below Eternal competitive rates.”

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