Pioneer 0 Eng.FUsr.—

Modern 22 Eng.FUsr.—
Four mana for one creature is far slower than Dismember or Force of Despair; surveil 1 is not enough compensation.
Could be wrong if A slow, creature-heavy metagame or a strong new graveyard payoff could create a narrow sideboard role.
Legacy 17 Eng.FUsr.—
It is drastically inefficient beside Swords to Plowshares, Snuff Out, and Dismember; surveil 1 does not rescue it.
Could be wrong if A future black graveyard shell could value the self-mill enough for isolated testing.
Pauper 27 Eng.FUsr.—
Cast Down is already widely played at two mana; paying four for surveil 1 is a major tempo loss for common removal.
Could be wrong if Revealed graveyard synergies could make the surveil meaningful in a slow black control shell.
Commander 24 Eng.FUsr.—
A single four-mana creature kill is outclassed by cheaper, broader answers; surveil 1 is only minor graveyard utility.
Could be wrong if A commander that specifically rewards surveilling or cards entering the graveyard could make it a niche inclusion.
Limited 71 Eng.B+Usr.—
Instant-speed unconditional creature removal plus surveil is premium, though four mana prevents it from being bomb-level.
Could be wrong if Draft speed, removal density, and graveyard payoffs are unknown; a very fast format would lower its pick quality.
“A clean but inefficient four-mana kill spell whose small selection rider matters most in Limited.”
