Basic landcycling {2} is markedly less efficient than Generous Ent, while a six-mana 5/6 has too little immediate impact for Modern.

Could be wrong if A graveyard landcycling shell could want a blue land-finder and test it as redundant creature density.

Legacy mana and threats vastly outpace this six-drop; costly basic landcycling is poor beside the format's superior selection.

Could be wrong if A niche graveyard deck could value the discard outlet and a resilient large creature more than expected.

It is much weaker at landcycling than Generous Ent, and a six-mana ground creature is unlikely to justify a slot despite ward.

Could be wrong if A slower blue deck may find its land smoothing and 5/6 ward body sufficient as a one- or two-copy top end.

A 5/6 vigilance body with ward is modest at six mana, and one-shot basic-land fixing is too weak versus stronger blue finishers.

Could be wrong if Future Whale-specific payoffs or a very creature-type-focused list could make its typing materially relevant.

A 5/6 vigilance creature with ward {2} stabilizes boards well, while landcycling makes an expensive card less punishing to draw early.

Could be wrong if Set speed, removal density, and blue's archetype are unknown; a fast format could make six mana too slow.
