Modern 24 Eng.FUsr.

Four mana to flicker two permanents is far behind Modern's efficient blink options, while a six-mana 6/5 without an ETB is a poor payoff.

Best home ETB blink shellsBand speculativeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if A resilient ETB or land-reset shell could make the two-target instant effect materially better than its baseline rate.

Legacy 18 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy's mana efficiency makes a four-mana self-flicker and six-mana vanilla-adjacent threat exceptionally difficult to justify.

Could be wrong if A powerful permanent-reset interaction could create a niche unavailable from the supplied context.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 43 Eng.D+Usr.

Blinking two creatures at instant speed can reuse strong ETBs or foil targeted removal, with the later warded body providing extra material.

Best home Blue ETB blinkBand fringeConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if Four mana and mandatory two targets may leave it outclassed by cheaper or repeatable blink effects.

Limited 70 Eng.B+Usr.

A 6/5 vigilance creature with ward 2 is a premium late-game threat; the Adventure adds meaningful ETB reuse or protection utility.

Best home Blue midrangeBand premiumConfidence 46%

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, removal, and ETB density could make six mana too slow or the Adventure substantially better.

Double blink finisher

“A costly double-flicker Adventure with a sizeable protected body, most useful in slower ETB-focused decks and Limited.”

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