Pro Comment: While stealing your opponent’s stuff feels extra good, this is basically just a card selection spell. And, that’s not a bad thing, especially when it has Flashback, but it also isn’t incredible either! It gets a bit of a downgrade too from the fact that Flashback and Disturb are both things in this format, and if you choose to go with a card with either of those, you’re basically giving your opponent some very real value. Still, it can hit lands, and hitting land drops early is pretty nice, and of course sometimes you’ll end up stealing some stupid bomb. But, again, its basically just a glorified card selection spell – one that nets you a 2-for-1 after you flash it back, though.

Pro Comment: A two mana 2/2 that can sac to blow up an artifact or enchantment would make the cut in pretty much every Limited format. It is nice having a reasonably-statted creature that can deal with permanents that can be quite hard to deal with in Limited! And once night rolls around, this one gets even scarier, not only becoming larger, but also just decimating the artifacts and enchantments your opponent has, since it can blow them up with each attack. Artifacts and Enchantments aren’t massive themes in this set, and that does hold it back some, but it will still be nice card to have in Green decks

Pro Comment: This is obviously incredible. An Instant that kills a creature for only two mana is incredible, and there aren’t even any limitations here like we usually see. Now, you do have to have 2 life, but that’s not really a big ask. This is a candidate for best Uncommon in the set.

Pro Comment: Lands will end up in your graveyard more often than normal in this format because of self-mill, and the Farmer brings some of that mill with him! You’ll get a land out of this reasonably often, and making sure you hit your next land drop and loading your graveyard has decent value.
Baneblade Scoundrel // Baneclaw Marauder
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This looks really good. If this wasn’t a werewolf, I think Baneblade Scoundrel would be a very nice card. A 4-mana 4/3 that really makes blocking more difficult for your opponent is something I would definitely be on board with, but the fact it turns into a werewolf sometimes -- or, if its night already -- just enters the battlefield as a werewolf -- is pretty awesome. Especially because that Werewolf is bigger and also makes blocking even more difficult for your opponent! This is a high quality Uncommon.

Pro Rating: 1.0 // 3.0
Pro Comment: Obviously, this is a multi-format all star in constructed and one of the best creatures ever printed. This is because in constructed, you can make a deck where it is trivially easy to flip this, effectively making it a one mana 3/2 with Flying. In Limited that’s...not going to be quite as easy. Even a spell deck that really gets there probably has 10 Instants and Sorceries, so yeah. It will usually take a few triggers to flip. The good news is, a 3/2 Flyer is relevant pretty much all game long, so even if you play this on turn one and it doesn’t flip until turn 4, you’re going to feel okay about it. Thing is, though, if you’ve just got like 3-5 spells, this is unplayable. I think this needs a buildaround grade as a result. It is probably going to be a D or worse in your typical Blue deck, but if you 10+ Instants and Sorceries, it is a quality card.

Pro Comment: This is a reprint, and it is one that is pretty mediocre. Giving death touch + a cantrip is pretty nice in combat, but it is a very narrow card overall because it is only useful in combat. Sure, I guess you can cast it just to cycle it, but that’s pretty rough! There are some silly things you can do with it sometimes, like give death touch to something that is being triple blocked, but a lot of the time you just use this and trade a creature on the table for one in your library. And, while that’s fine, it is certainly not a great card, and not one that makes the cut more than half the time.

Pro Comment: Don’t underestimate the Flashback here. Like a lot of Flashback cards, neither the original cost nor the flashback cost is efficient, but the fact remains that over the course of a normal game of Limited, this will give you 4 tokens for only one card, and that’s pretty nice. Just having the Flashback cost to do in the later part of the game is a nice mana sink too. Obviously, GW is all about going wide too, so it will be extra useful there.

Pro Comment: She’s a 3-mana ¼ with Vigilance at worst, and that’s the kind of body that would make the cut sometimes! And, obviously, she will often be significantly larger, especially because you get a token every time you attack. So once she attacks, she will be at least a 2/4.
Hound Tamer // Untamed Pup
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: You would always play this card if it was always Hound Tamer. It has good stats and an ability that can be a nice place to sink mana in the late game, so obviously the fact it can also be a larger creature that grants Trample to a bunch of stuff is awesome.

Pro Comment: This does a pretty good impression of Grave Titan, a card that has been a massive bomb in the past. No matter what, you’re going to get your two wolf tokens, even if your opponent kills this guy on the spot, and that goes a long way towards making it a great card, because you’re going to get something no matter what. Then, if they don’t kill it, the wolf tokens are going to be all over the place once it transforms, and your opponent will quickly lose. He even has the ability to turn those wolves into removal!

Pro Comment: This will never have the most efficient stats ever, but the fact that it can be really big in the late game and also be something you cast early is alright. What really makes it interesting though in the Coven mechanic. Because its Power is somewhat customizable, it will be able to make sure that you are triggering Coven reasonably often -- AND it does the Coven thing during your end step, which means it will often be able to give you some value even if your opponent untaps and kills it. Now, you won’t always be able to get Coven going, but it becomes a pretty impressive engine when you can, one that can win you the game if left unchecked.

Pro Comment: It won’t always be easy to trade with this and get a 2-for-1 since it’s a ½, so ideally you will sacrifice this to something for value, in which case you don’t really go down a card at all! I could see this ending up as a key common for both BW and UB.
Spellrune Painter // Spellrune Howler
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: A 3-mana ⅔ that gets +1/+1 when you cast an instant or sorcery is a pretty solid little card to begin with. It has the kind of stats that make it kind of a pain to block or attack into against an opponent who has mana up and cards in hand. It would probably be a C if that’s all this card was. But, of course, its a werewolf, and if its night time, you get a bigger creature that gets even bigger when you cast an Instant or Sorcery! This thing looks like it will be a real beating.

Pro Comment: This starts with great stats. A 3-mana 3/3 with First STrike is relevant pretty much all game long, and Florian does one better by also being a source of card advantage, provided you can cause your opponent to lose life on your turn. And, yeah, a 3-mana 3/3 with First Strike is going to be pretty capable at getting in all on its own, especially if you play it on turn three! BR also has lots of ways of doing 1 or 2 damage to the opponent that will also make the ability work.
Reckless Stormseeker // Storm-Charged Slasher
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This looks really good. Like a lot of these werewolves, just the Human side would be pretty nice. It will impact the board right away, since it can come down and pump a creature that turn. Note, by the way, it can pump itself, so it can be a 3/3 with Haste if that suits you on a particular turn. Basically, the front side of the card is an upgraded version of Valor Singer, a card you always played which we just saw in Forgotten Realms. Then, when its night time, you get an even more powerful creature! One that gives a bigger boost and trample to go along with the Haste! In other words, if it is night time and you play this, you just played a 3-mana 5/4 with Trample and Haste! Yeah, this thing is going to really make the game a challenge for your opponent on both sides, as both are very capable of helping you push through a ton of damage. I think this is a very high pick, though it does fall a little bit short of being a bomb.

Pro Comment: So, a 5 -mana 3/3 with Flying and Double Strike is already a pretty darn good card. It hits hard in the air and provides a pretty quick clock. The downside is that a 5-mana 3 toughness creature dies for a lot less than 5 mana in some cases, but that’s okay, since this comes with so much additional upside! Giving you hexproof won’t come up a ton, and it won’t always transform either, but if it isn’t transforming you’re probably in pretty good shape! If it does have to transform, it can help dig you out of a serious hole. So, this has a great base line and some solid upside. I think that’s enough to get into the lower tier of “bomb.”

Pro Comment: This is a Wind Drake with all kinds of upside. First, it pumps one of the most common creatures in the format, and if yo’ure in Blue, its going to be tough to end up in a deck where this doesn’t pump like 5 of your creatures. And second, it gives you a discount on both flashback and Disturb. And don’t forget all those Disturb creatures are spirits too!

Pro Comment: This seems passable, as in the early game it has alright stats, and in the late game it can be a real source of reach. It can also help you activate cards that give you a bonus if an opponent has lost life. Still, it does ask for a lot to make the opponent lose that 1 life, and it just won’t always be doable.

Pro Comment: Your opponent does have to respect this as an attacker if you have the mana up, so this gives you a good way to chip in for one damage to activate your Bloodthirst stuff.
