Storied (If you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an enduring story for the rest of the game.) Bombur doesn't untap during your untap step unless you have an enduring story.

Affinity can plausibly enable Storied, but a colored three-mana 5/3 offers little payoff beyond stats and competes with stronger artifact synergies.

Best home Pinnacle AffinityBand fringeConfidence 54%

Could be wrong if Artifact density may enable Storied consistently enough for this to become a regular aggressive threat.

Legacy 23 Eng.FUsr.—

Even if artifact-heavy shells enable it, a three-mana combat-only 5/3 is too slow and fragile for Legacy's efficient threats and interaction.

Band speculativeConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if An established artifact shell could reliably enable Storied and value its unusual rate.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—
Commander 26 Eng.FUsr.—

Storied is easy in matching decks, but a vanilla 5/3 without evasion, value, or meaningful multiplayer scaling is highly replaceable.

Best home Artifact- and legend-dense decksBand speculativeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if A commander or payoff that specifically rewards high-power creatures could make its body more relevant.

Limited 51 Eng.CUsr.—

It is a strong rate once Storied is active, while the floor is often one 5-power attack followed by a permanent that cannot untap.

Best home Artifact- or Saga-dense aggressive deckBand playableConfidence 39%

Could be wrong if Unknown artifact, Saga, and legendary density determines how consistently Storied can be online.

Conditional artifact aggro threat

“A three-mana 5/3 is efficient only after substantial board setup; otherwise its one-attack untap drawback is severe.”

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