Power Pack

Legendary Creature — Human Hero · {1}{R}{G}{W}{U} · Green/Red/Blue/White commander

Flying, vigilance, trample, haste Whenever Power Pack deals combat damage to a player, exile target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard chosen at random. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast that card without paying its mana cost. If that spell would be put into your graveyard, exile it instead.

What Power Pack actually does

Read off the card by the same engine the Forge and Analyzer use — this is the mechanical classification, not a summary.

What a Power Pack deck wants
