Modern 18 Eng.FUsr.

Six mana for a 4/4-plus-counters is far behind Modern's rate; basic landcycling is useful fixing but costs too much mana and a deck slot.

Band speculativeConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if An undisclosed shell that values both a six-mana creature and basic-land tutoring could create a narrow use.

Legacy 16 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy demands much more immediate impact than this hardcast offers, and two-mana basic landcycling is not enough to justify the weak body.

Band speculativeConfidence 71%

Could be wrong if A future graveyard or tutoring synergy could value the discard effect more than ordinary Legacy decks do.

Pauper 44 Eng.D+Usr.

Unlike Generous Ent, this is a slower landcycler and smaller standalone threat, but all-basic fixing plus a late 6/6 can support a fringe green multicolor slot.

Best home Jund WildfireBand fringeConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if The two-mana cycling cost and six-mana cast may prove too clumsy versus Pauper's existing one-mana landcyclers.

Commander 37 Eng.DUsr.

Early basic fixing and a late creature that supplies two counters give it a real counters-deck floor, but six mana for this amount of board impact is replaceable.

Could be wrong if More revealed counter-matters payoffs or Gorn-specific support could make the ETB counters materially more valuable.

Limited 68 Eng.BUsr.

Landcycling prevents mana failures, while hardcasting commonly makes a 6/6 that small creatures cannot block or meaningfully improves another attacker.

Best home Green creature decksBand premiumConfidence 44%

Could be wrong if Unknown set speed, removal density, and creature sizing could make a double-green six-drop less reliable than its raw board impact suggests.

Landcycling counter finisher

“A slow modal mana fixer that is a credible Limited finisher but likely too inefficient for most Constructed formats.”

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