{1}, {T}: Draw a card, then discard a card.
Predicted power
Standard Eng.NLUsr.
Pioneer Eng.NLUsr.
Modern 17 Eng.FUsr.

A three-mana 2/3 that must survive a turn and pay mana to loot is far slower than Modern’s graveyard and selection tools.

Band speculativeConfidence 73%

Could be wrong if A future graveyard shell could specifically value repeatable discard on a creature.

Legacy 15 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy’s cheap cantrips make delayed, mana-paid looting on a fragile three-drop an exceptionally poor rate.

Band speculativeConfidence 78%

Could be wrong if A specialized creature-based discard engine could make repeated looting uniquely useful.

Pauper 27 Eng.FUsr.

The common rarity permits Pauper use, but a three-mana creature needing {1} and a turn cycle to loot is too slow for most lists.

Best home Blue graveyard deckBand speculativeConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if Revealed graveyard themes could yield a discard payoff that makes the repeatable effect worthwhile.

Commander 21 Eng.FUsr.

It is only a modest upgrade in body over Rummaging Goblin while charging mana per loot; optimized decks have stronger engines.

Best home Graveyard-focused blue deckBand speculativeConfidence 75%

Could be wrong if A commander that rewards repeated discards or creature activations could want this redundancy.

Limited 47 Eng.C-Usr.

A 2/3 is serviceable and repeatable filtering improves draws or graveyard setup, but the activation costs mana and starts a turn late.

Best home Blue graveyard deckBand playableConfidence 42%

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, removal, and graveyard payoffs could move it from filler to a strong synergy card.

Repeatable looting creature

“A slow, mana-intensive looter whose modest body and delayed filtering leave it mainly for limited or highly specific graveyard decks.”

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