Here Comes a New Hero! puts a copy of any creature from your library directly onto the battlefield — no mana cost, no summoning sickness clause — at the price of exiling itself and discarding your hand. The discard-your-hand clause is real, but in decks built around Mirror-Mad Phantasm self-mill or Leonardo, the Balance // Michelangelo, the Heart's graveyard recursion loop, emptying your hand is a feature, not a bug.

Leonardo, the Balance // Michelangelo, the Heart's engine rewards filling your graveyard and replaying permanents, making Here Comes a New Hero! a free creature deployment that simultaneously fuels the yard — the hand-dump is pure setup, not a cost.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |

| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Here Comes a New Hero! is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, and that's exactly where it belongs — the card is too narrow and setup-dependent to thrive in Legacy or Vintage, where faster, lower-cost interaction dominates. Commander is its natural home: slower games give you time to empty your hand naturally, and singleton formats reward toolbox tutoring onto the battlefield. In Oathbreaker it earns a similar niche if your planeswalker-commander pairs with a graveyard or discard theme.

Current price
$0.37 bulk tier
At $0.37, Here Comes a New Hero! is firmly bulk — easy to pick up without a second thought for any graveyard or self-mill build that wants it. Bulk rares with narrow combo applications rarely spike unless a new commander pushes them into mainstream demand, so treat it as a cheap include, not a pickup for the binder.
