Haste When this creature enters, target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost.
Predicted power
Standard 69 Eng.BUsr.

Izzet Prowess can turn spent Opt or Burst Lightning into another spell; the hasty 2/1 is fragile, but efficient recursion should earn maindeck slots.

Could be wrong if The format's best spell decks may be too tempo-constrained to spend two mana on a 1-toughness creature.

Pioneer 59 Eng.C+Usr.

Izzet Aggro can replay cheap burn or tricks while adding haste damage, but it needs both a stocked graveyard and mana for the spell that turn.

Could be wrong if Pioneer's stronger removal and curve pressure may make a two-mana 2/1 too costly despite the flashback.

Modern 71 Eng.B+Usr.

Recasting a cheap interactive or proactive spell while adding hasty pressure is a credible payoff for Izzet Cutter Prowess, though the body is easy to remove.

Could be wrong if Modern may demand lower-cost or more immediate spell payoffs than a two-mana creature that still requires recast mana.

Legacy 64 Eng.B-Usr.

Arclight Phoenix can exploit cheap graveyard cantrips and spells, and haste matters, but Legacy's mana denial and cheap answers punish this mana-heavy line.

Could be wrong if The card may be too slow and vulnerable compared with Legacy's cheapest threats, disruption, and graveyard interaction.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 57 Eng.C+Usr.

Spell-heavy graveyard decks value a cheap way to reuse a key instant or sorcery immediately, though it requires paying the spell's full cost again.

Could be wrong if It may be too narrow and mana-hungry versus permanent recursion or broader spell-copy effects in singleton decks.

Limited 69 Eng.BUsr.

A hasty two-drop that later reuses removal or a strong spell offers real card advantage, but its 2/1 body and setup dependence limit its floor.

Could be wrong if Unknown spell density, removal quality, and archetypes could leave too few worthwhile targets for consistent premium performance.

Hasty spell recursion

“A two-mana hasty body that can immediately replay a graveyard instant or sorcery, strongest where cheap spells justify its mana-intensive turn.”

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