The owner of target permanent shuffles it into their library, then reveals the top card of their library. If it's a permanent card, they put it onto the battlefield.

Unlike Abrade (60), it hits every permanent but costs three and can replace it; likely an occasional red catch-all sideboard card.

Could be wrong if A low-permanent Legacy shell could make the random reveal much less costly and increase adoption.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 64 Eng.B-Usr.

Like Beast Within (66), it answers any permanent; red's broad interaction is valuable, though the random replacement is less reliable.

Could be wrong if Universal enchantment interaction may prove important enough for near-staple adoption in red decks.

Limited 53 Eng.CUsr.

It can swap any troublesome permanent at instant speed, but often gives the opponent another permanent; useful emergency interaction, not premium removal.

Could be wrong if Unknown permanent density, speed, and bomb prevalence determine whether the exchange is usually favorable.

Universal permanent removal

“Chaos Warp is a risky catch-all answer: plausible in Legacy sideboards and a strong red Commander role-player, but only middling Limited removal.”

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