This spell can't be countered. Draw cards equal to the greatest toughness among creatures you control, then put any number of creature cards from your hand onto the battlefield.
Predicted power
Standard Eng.NLUsr.
Pioneer Eng.NLUsr.
Modern 31 Eng.D-Usr.

More explosive than Improvisation Capstone, but its eight-mana, board-dependent setup is a poor fit outside mana-heavy creature shells.

Best home UrzaTronBand fringeConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if UrzaTron may have enough mana and large creatures to make a one-of payoff materially better than expected.

Legacy 22 Eng.FUsr.

It is stronger than Improvisation Capstone when set up, but eight mana, double green, and requiring a creature already in play are severe costs.

Band speculativeConfidence 64%

Could be wrong if Fast-mana creature-combo shells could make the uncounterable mass deployment more practical than it appears.

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

A large creature can turn this into a major refill plus mass deployment, but eight mana and needing both board and hand make it specialized.

Best home High-toughness creature rampBand role-playerConfidence 68%

Could be wrong if Creature-ramp decks may reliably cast it with enough toughness and hand size for it to become a stronger finisher.

Limited 79 Eng.A-Usr.

With any substantial creature in play, it can draw several cards and deploy a full hand; the eight-mana cost and setup keep it below bomb status.

Best home Green creature decksBand first-pickConfidence 49%

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed, removal, and creature sizing determine how often its expensive setup is achievable.

Creature deployment payoff

“An uncounterable but eight-mana creature-hand refill that is potent after setup, chiefly for slow green creature strategies.”

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