Skyline Predator is a 3/4 flash flyer with hexproof — a reasonable body that blankets itself against targeted removal and arrives at instant speed. Six mana is the problem: at that cost, blue has access to threats that win games, not just survive them.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Skyline Predator is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but competitive play in any of those formats is not where it belongs. In Commander, six mana for a 3/4 hexproof flyer is below the baseline — the format's power ceiling demands more from a top-end threat, and hexproof alone doesn't justify the slot. Casual tables that prize resilience over raw power are the honest home for Skyline Predator.

Price Context
Current price
$0.05 bulk tier
At $0.05, Skyline Predator is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a collection binder rather than a competitive list. Bulk rares rarely appreciate unless a format shift dramatically changes their context, and nothing on the horizon moves the needle here.
