Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature an opponent controls.
Predicted power
Standard 42 Eng.D+Usr.

Selesnya Aggro can turn a developed creature into instant-speed removal, but needing both a creature and enough power makes it unreliable.

Best home Selesnya AggroBand fringeConfidence 57%

Could be wrong if Durable, high-power Standard creatures or a creature-heavy metagame could make it a regular inclusion.

Pioneer 36 Eng.DUsr.

The Rock could test it against larger creatures, but Fatal Push and other independent removal make this 1G board-dependent spell narrow.

Best home The RockBand fringeConfidence 64%

Could be wrong if A creature-heavy metagame where its power-based damage reaches targets Push cannot could raise sideboard adoption.

Modern 27 Eng.FUsr.

At 1G and requiring a creature already in play, it is much less reliable than Modern's cheap independent interaction; no clear listed shell needs it.

Band speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if A green creature shell with unusually large, resilient bodies could make it a narrow sideboard tool.

Legacy 22 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy's exceptional mana efficiency and cheap interaction leave little room for conditional two-mana creature removal that needs a board.

Band speculativeConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if A future green creature strategy that reliably presents oversized threats could create a niche use.

Pauper 47 Eng.C-Usr.

Elves can supply creatures and may value one-sided instant removal, but small bodies and stronger independent removal constrain it to a niche role.

Could be wrong if If common green decks consistently field large bodies, its instant speed could make it a more frequent inclusion.

Commander 43 Eng.D+Usr.

Large or deathtouch creatures turn this into cheap removal, but it is blank without a creature and can answer only creatures.

Best home Green creature-combat decksBand fringeConfidence 60%

Could be wrong if More combat-focused tables or commanders that provide reliable large bodies would improve its inclusion rate.

Limited 69 Eng.BUsr.

Two-mana instant one-sided creature removal is highly efficient and scales with normal creature curves, though it needs a suitable body.

Best home Green creature decksBand premiumConfidence 47%

Could be wrong if Token-heavy boards, undersized green creatures, or unusually efficient opposing removal could lower its reliability.

Creature-based removal

“Quarrel is efficient conditional removal: strong with a board, but its failure case and lack of player targets limit constructed adoption.”

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