Choose one — • Temba, His Arms Wide — Target creature gets +3/+3 and gains trample until end of turn. • Shaka, When the Walls Fell — Each opponent sacrifices a nontoken artifact or enchantment of their choice.

Modern 24 Eng.FUsr.

Three mana for a single chosen artifact/enchantment is far behind Force of Vigor; the pump mode is not enough compensation in Modern.

Band speculativeConfidence 76%

Could be wrong if A major artifact/enchantment deck without effective token fodder could create a narrow sideboard need.

Legacy 18 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy's cheap interaction makes a three-mana one-permanent edict unattractive; Force of Vigor is substantially more efficient.

Band speculativeConfidence 78%

Could be wrong if A novel permanent-heavy strategy could make its non-targeting sacrifice clause narrowly useful.

Pauper 42 Eng.D+Usr.

It can answer a non-token artifact or enchantment, but is slower and less reliable than two-mana options such as Cast into the Fire.

Best home Green sideboards versus AffinityBand fringeConfidence 65%

Could be wrong if Its adoption depends on how many green decks need artifact/enchantment hate and on revealed artifact density.

Commander 54 Eng.CUsr.

Against suitable boards it trades one card for up to three chosen permanents. It is narrower than Beast Within, but scales meaningfully in multiplayer.

Best home Green multiplayer midrangeBand role-playerConfidence 69%

Could be wrong if Opponents choose expendable permanents, and token-heavy or permanent-light tables make the edict weak.

Limited 54 Eng.CUsr.

A +3/+3 trample trick can win combat or force damage, while the edict mode gives occasional main-deck utility against revealed artifacts or enchantments.

Best home Green creature decksBand playableConfidence 42%

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, removal, and artifact/enchantment density determine whether three-mana tricks are acceptable.

Modal combat trick edict

“A slow but flexible Limited trick; its multiplayer edict scales well, while eternal formats have much cheaper artifact/enchantment interaction.”

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