Pro Comment: Wrath effects are pretty hard to replace, and even though this is symmetrical, I still think it is a pretty nice reset button to have, as it can get you out of just about any situation. It does cost triple White, which is rough, and it is pretty unlikely you can ever cast it for the reduced cost, but that’s okay.

Pro Comment: This performs surprisingly well as a spell payoff, and can really chip in a ton of additional damage, while also providing pretty good reach in the later part of the game.

Pro Comment: On its own, this is basically a 4-mana 4/3 with Haste, something quite reasonable! And of course, like all of these -1/-1 counter cards, you can put the counter on a different creature to make the Crocodile even larger.

Pro Comment: This X-costed planeswalker can come down whenever you want her too, and she packs some pretty nice abilities. Her +2 doesn’t net you a card or anything, but it does Scry 2, which is some nice selection. Her 0 ability does net you cards, and can even put some into play for free! Meanwhile, her ultimate is quite easy to reach, and it can do 10 damage to your opponent out of nowhere, which is often enough to just end the game. She is challenging to take over the game with all alone though, and for that reason I don’t think she’s quite a bomb.

Pro Comment: Liliana can make Zombie tokens to protect her with her +1, and she can reanimate a creature to protect her with her -3. The two synergize well together too, because her +1 also mills you! Her ultimate is obviously quite good too, and because she starts at 5 loyalty, it isn’t insane to imagine getting here there, especially since she can raise her loyalty while making bodies to protect her. Liliana is an incredible bomb.

Pro Comment: These all add two colors mana, which is great fixing, and if you get them at a point in the game where you no longer need lands, you can just Cycle them away. Don’t underestimate how good that is. Just imagine every time you’ve flooded out in a game of Magic, now imagine you can just throw away some of those lands for new cards, and you’ll know what I mean.

Pro Comment: This doesn’t have the most impressive spell payoff effect there is, but looting with this sometimes is solid.

Pro Comment: This is another cheap sweeper that can take down a huge chunk of the creatures in this format. And, when you get it in a situation where you’re the one who is ahead, you can just cycle it away!

Pro Comment: Playing this on turn two to kill your opponent’s only creature feels great, and all game long it will at least subtract from the opposing board some. Because it is so cheap, it also isn’t that difficult to play a cartouche and replay the Trial in the same turn, which will feel pretty great.

Pro Comment: Trading 1-for-1 with discard spells isn’t always great in Limited, but Thoughtseize is cheap and capable of taking any nonland permanent, and that makes it far better than most cards like it that we see. It will do a thing almost all game long, and really disrupt your opponent when it does.

Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This is premium removal that comes with the minor upside of Cycling. Normally in Limited, you won’t be Cycling this of course, since it is likely one of your best cards and it can answer almost anything. However, sometimes you end up stuck on two lands or something, and being able to cycle this away in that desperate situation definitely matters.

Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: If you cast this normally, it can deal with just about any creature in the format, and if you cycle it, you can kill a small creature and get a 2-for-1. This is definitely premium removal.

Pro Comment: +3/+3 and flying for three mana isn’t that great at Sorcery speed. It is tempting to look at this as giving you that effect every turn or something, but even with all the Zombies around, it just won’t happen that often. Plus, it isn’t that hard for your opponent to respond to.

Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is the weakest of the cycle, mostly because milling isn’t that relevant in the format, but it is still a desert with some upside.

Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: A two mana 2/1 with First Strike is something you always sign up for, and this one has the ability to pump its power. That’s something your opponent has to pretty much always respect, making it quite challenging to attack through or block the Minotaur. Of course, sometimes if they don’t block, you can also do lethal, so you put your opponent in a really rough situation.

Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is a cheap way to kill any creature, and the downside can turn into upside in some situations. Still, the set up is real, and that makes it hard for it to be premium.

Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: This Jace starts with high loyalty and nice abilities. If you’re ahead, you’ll use that +1 to gain incredible card advantage, and you even get to Scry first! If you’re behind, you’ll use the -2 to bounce a thing. And yeah, sometimes if you’re behind he just bounces a couple of things and dies, but that’s a pretty good deal for the mana cost, especially because it has such huge upside in other situations.

Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is pretty solid, though not premium. There are enough small creatures in this set that it sometimes give you a 2-for-1, but it isn’t that impressive against larger creatures, though weakening them still has some value.

Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: Keeping this a 4-mana 5/5 or 4/4, even in a spell deck, isn’t always the easiest thing to do. And, even when you can, the card isn’t exactly a worldbeater.
