Five mana for a conditional-sized body, one token, and rummaging is far too slow and low-impact for credible Modern decks.

Could be wrong if A presently unknown dedicated blink or Human shell could value the repeatable ETB more highly.

Legacy's mana efficiency and interaction leave little room for a five-mana creature with no immediate disruptive or game-ending effect.

Could be wrong if A new efficient Human-focused shell or unusually favorable cheat-into-play interaction could create a niche.

A potentially 4/5 plus token and loot is respectable, but five mana is a major liability against Pauper's efficient threats and removal.

Could be wrong if A white token or blink shell could make repeated recruit triggers worth the high mana cost.

Human and token decks can turn it into a sizable body, selection, and an extra token, but one conditional token is modest at five mana.

Could be wrong if Greater-than-expected demand for discard outlets, blink effects, or Human payoffs could improve its inclusion rate.

Usually arrives as a sizeable 3/5 or better, filters a draw, and often adds a 1/1; that is strong common-level board presence.

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, removal, and archetypes may make a five-drop too slow or reduce the value of creature-count scaling.
