When this creature enters, look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a Spacecraft card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. If you didn't put a card into your hand this way, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

Pulsar Squadron Ace is a bulk rare that doesn't clear the bar for competitive play in any format — the stats and effect don't justify the mana cost against what's available at the same slot. Run it only if you're building around its specific trigger or need a thematic fit.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Pulsar Squadron Ace is legal across every major constructed format, but that legality is academic — it doesn't show up in competitive lists for Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer because the power ceiling in those formats punishes anything that doesn't immediately affect the board or close a game. Standard gives it the most charitable environment, where the card pool is shallower and tribal or synergy-based strategies can carry marginal pieces. Commander is where Pulsar Squadron Ace has the most realistic home, specifically in decks that care about its creature type or can repeatedly trigger its ability, though even there it's competing against a deep bench of similar effects.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Pulsar Squadron Ace sits firmly in bulk territory — fine to pick up as a four-of without thinking about it, but don't expect the price to move unless a specific combo or Commander deck drives sudden demand. Buy it for the effect, not as a spec.
