Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card. If its mana value is less than or equal to the number of lands you control, put it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. This ability triggers only once each turn.
Predicted power
Standard 37 Eng.DUsr.

A five-mana enchantment with no immediate board impact is a test-only sacrifice payoff; the once-per-turn cap limits its ability to take over games.

Best home Nontoken sacrifice midrangeBand fringeConfidence 54%

Could be wrong if Revealed sacrifice density may conceal a strong Standard shell that reliably turns the first post-cast death into major value.

Pioneer 28 Eng.FUsr.

Pioneer demands faster impact than this conditional five-drop provides. It can generate value in dedicated sacrifice lists, but needs setup and survival.

Best home Nontoken sacrifice shellsBand speculativeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if An established sacrifice shell may value the free creature deployment enough to tolerate its mana cost.

Modern 22 Eng.FUsr.

Five mana, no immediate effect, and a once-per-turn trigger are far too slow for most Modern decks, even if creature deaths are available.

Band speculativeConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if A resilient creature-combo deck could make the trigger materially stronger than its fair-rate floor suggests.

Legacy 18 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy's cheap interaction and speed make a five-mana conditional enchantment implausible; it lacks the immediate payoff or uniqueness needed to justify it.

Band speculativeConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if Fast mana plus a dedicated sacrifice engine could create a narrow but viable fringe application.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 48 Eng.C-Usr.

Aristocrats decks can turn recurring nontoken deaths into substantial creature value, but five mana and one trigger per turn keep it a specialized inclusion.

Best home Nontoken aristocratsBand role-playerConfidence 64%

Could be wrong if Creature density and reliable sacrifice outlets may make it a stronger engine than its delayed first trigger implies.

Limited 71 Eng.B+Usr.

At five lands it will usually replace the first nontoken creature that dies each turn with a free creature, creating a powerful grindy engine after setup.

Best home Creature-heavy green decksBand premiumConfidence 43%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, removal, and archetypes may make a five-mana non-board-impacting rare too slow or difficult to exploit.

Death-trigger creature engine

“A slow, once-per-turn sacrifice payoff that can convert nontoken deaths into creature deployment or creature selection.”

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