Lyna, Veil of Vengeance

{W}{U}{B} · Legendary Creature — Soltari Cleric
Rare · Mystery Booster Commander Edition · Art by Adam Rex
Shadow (This creature can block or be blocked by only creatures with shadow.) Whenever a creature you control with shadow deals combat damage to a player, draw a card. {3}: Put a shadow counter on another target creature. Activate only as a sorcery.
Predicted power
Standard Eng.NLUsr.
Pioneer Eng.NLUsr.
Modern 19 Eng.FUsr.

Modern generally demands immediate impact from three-mana creatures; Lyna is vulnerable before its first card and its conversion ability is expensive.

Band speculativeConfidence 65%

Could be wrong if A dense evasive or combo shell could turn several shadow hits into enough cards to justify the setup cost.

Legacy 20 Eng.FUsr.

Even with older shadow options, WUB and a turn-later combat trigger are inefficient beside Legacy's cheap, resilient engines.

Band speculativeConfidence 63%

Could be wrong if A resilient shadow package with unusually efficient setup could make the repeated draw trigger more reliable than expected.

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

As commander or in Esper combat decks, it converts its own evasive hits and permanent paid conversions into repeatable card draw, but needs mana and protection.

Best home Lyna-led Esper evasive creaturesBand role-playerConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if Three mana per conversion and creature-removal exposure may leave it too slow for optimized multiplayer tables.

Limited 79 Eng.A-Usr.

A nearly unblockable 2/3 that draws on every hit is a powerful rare payoff; the WUB cost and unknown fixing keep it below bomb status.

Best home Esper evasive deckBand first-pickConfidence 36%

Could be wrong if If fixing is weak or the format is very fast, reliably casting WUB early enough may be a major liability.

Shadow combat draw engine

“A fragile but potent evasive draw engine whose constructed prospects depend heavily on support, while it is a strong multicolor Limited rare.”

Rated on limited context — few cards from this set are revealed yet.

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