Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.) Ferocious — Whenever this creature attacks while you control a creature with power 4 or greater, this creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
Predicted power
Standard 27 Eng.FUsr.

A 1/1 menace is below rate, and becoming 3/3 requires an established power-four creature; no current supplied Standard shell supports that package.

Band speculativeConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if Additional Ferocious enablers or a black aggressive shell from the unrevealed set could make the condition reliable.

Pioneer 20 Eng.FUsr.

Pioneer one-drops must offer immediate damage, disruption, or strong synergy. This is a conditional attacker with little value before a larger creature survives.

Band speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if A presently unlisted Ferocious aggro package could need cheap menace threats, though the card remains low-impact alone.

Modern 16 Eng.FUsr.

Modern's successful one-drops are far more impactful or synergistic. A conditional 3/3 attacker offers neither immediate value nor resilience to cheap removal.

Band speculativeConfidence 78%

Could be wrong if Unexpectedly dense power-four synergy could provide a narrow home, but no supplied Modern archetype indicates one.

Legacy 15 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy demands exceptional efficiency, disruption, or engine value. This vulnerable combat-only one-drop has no credible supplied competitive role.

Band speculativeConfidence 82%

Could be wrong if A novel tribal or Ferocious shell could test it, but that would require support not present in the supplied context.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 24 Eng.FUsr.

It can become a cheap 3/3 menace in power-focused decks, but single-target combat pressure does not scale well in optimized multiplayer.

Best home Power-four creature aggroBand speculativeConfidence 76%

Could be wrong if A commander that consistently supplies power four and rewards evasive attackers could make it a niche inclusion.

Limited 49 Eng.C-Usr.

A one-mana menace body is acceptable early, and reliably attacking as a 3/3 menace beside a power-four creature is a meaningful synergy payoff.

Best home Ferocious creature deckBand playableConfidence 46%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, removal, and power-four density determine whether it is ordinary filler or a reliable aggressive threat.

Conditional evasive one-drop

“A low-floor attacker whose 3/3 menace ceiling needs a power-four creature already in play.”

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