At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may cast an instant or sorcery spell with mana value X or less from your hand without paying its mana cost, where X is twice the number of legendary Wizards you control.

Predicted power

Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—

Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—

Modern — Eng.NLUsr.—

Legacy 22 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy's fast mana can cast it, but colored four mana for only a free two-mana spell is low impact against the format's cheap interaction and engines.

Band speculativeConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if A specialized Ancient Tomb or legendary-Wizard combo could exploit the trigger better than normal fair decks can.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—

Commander 63 Eng.B-Usr.—

It supplies a free spell every combat at baseline and scales sharply with legendary Wizards, making it a strong spellslinger payoff despite fragility.

Best home Jeskai legendary WizardsBand role-playerConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if Its narrow color identity, need for spells in hand, and lack of protection may leave it behind more reliable Commander engines.

Limited 68 Eng.BUsr.—

A 3/4 that can immediately cast a two-mana spell for free offers major tempo; its demanding three-color cost and unknown spell/fixing density temper it.

Best home Jeskai spells deckBand premiumConfidence 43%

Could be wrong if If fixing is weak or cheap instants and sorceries are sparse, it is merely a difficult-to-cast 3/4.

Legendary Wizard spell-cheat

“A fragile four-mana engine that immediately discounts a two-mana spell alone, but needs a slow Jeskai shell and more legendary Wizards to scale.”

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