When this creature enters, you may exile another target creature. When this creature leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to the battlefield under its owner's control.
Predicted power
Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—
Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—
Modern 24 Eng.FUsr.—

Three-mana, sorcery-speed temporary removal is below Modern rate; unlike Dryad Arbor (38), it lacks low-cost utility without a sacrifice setup.

Band speculativeConfidence 75%

Could be wrong if New efficient blink or sacrifice support could make permanent-exile lines worth the setup.

Legacy 21 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy's efficient removal and fast threats make a 1WW vulnerable exile creature marginal, landing near Petrified Hamlet (20) rather than Erode (30).

Band speculativeConfidence 78%

Could be wrong if A dedicated Vial, blink, or sacrifice shell could exploit its separate ETB and leave triggers.

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

Repeatable creature exile is useful in blink decks, and sacrificing it before its ETB resolves permanently strands a target; it sits just above Ondu Inversion (45).

Could be wrong if More permanent and flexible ETB removal creatures may crowd it out of optimized lists.

Limited 69 Eng.BUsr.—

A three-mana creature that exiles nearly any opposing creature is premium removal, though killing the 1/3 immediately restores the target and limits bomb status.

Could be wrong if Unknown removal density and format speed determine how often opponents can promptly recover their exiled creature.

Temporary creature exile

“Fiend Hunter is efficient Limited removal and a Commander blink/sacrifice role-player, but its fragile three-mana body is too slow for eternal Constructed.”

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