Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: Drawing and bouncing for three mana at instant speed is a very good rate. You end up with tempo and you break even on cards, but it has blowout potential too.
Surgical Extraction
Average Picked At: 10.50
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 6.54
Total Times Seen 18
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: Commiting a crime for free is a thing, but going down a card to do it generally isn't worth it, especially with a card that has an almost entirely meaningless effect.
Grindstone

Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 4.25
Total Times Seen 4
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: Even if this is a repeatable way to commit crimes, it isn't worth the mana investment.
Heartless Pillage
Average Picked At: 9.33
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 6.52
Total Times Seen 45
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: Mind Rot isn't a good card. This is Mind Rot with minor upside.

Collective Defiance
Average Picked At: 2.50
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 1.86
Total Times Seen 7
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: You'll usually cast this as 4 mana to do 4 to a creature and 3 to your opponent, but you can obviously mix and match, giving it way more upside.
Archmage's Charm
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.11
Total Times Seen 11
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is pretty hard to cast, but each of the modes is pretty good for the cost.
Hypothesizzle
Average Picked At: 7.00
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 5.78
Total Times Seen 44
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: You can just draw two with this if you want, but turning one of those cards into a deal 4 is pretty good.
Skewer the Critics
Average Picked At: 5.67
Total Times Picked: 6
Average Last Seen At: 4.65
Total Times Seen 28
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is fine if you pay three for it, and paying one is awesome and very attainable.
Skullcrack
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.56
Total Times Seen 9
Pro Rating: 1
Pro Comment: Burn that only hits players is pretty bad in Limited, as it has no impact on the board. It just isn't worth going down a card for 4 damage and nothing else.
Archive Trap

Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 3.73
Total Times Seen 12
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: 13 cards is a lot in Limited, but this still basically does nothing, except when your opponent actually runs out of cards. You'll cast if for 0 on occasion, but it still isn't worth it.
Abrupt Decay
Average Picked At: 2.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 2.62
Total Times Seen 8
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This can hit all sorts of cheap permanents, and uncounterability actually comes up with all the Ward we see these days.
Fierce Retribution
Average Picked At: 4.00
Total Times Picked: 9
Average Last Seen At: 4.03
Total Times Seen 36
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is solid removal, but not much more.
Outlaws' Merriment
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 3.00
Total Times Seen 1
Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: You have to wait a turn for it to get going, but once you get there it starts adding some very real bodies to the board, and it can quickly snowball.
Vanishing Verse
Average Picked At: 5.00
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 4.36
Total Times Seen 13
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: This can hit almost every permanent in the format for only two mana.
Overwhelming Forces
Average Picked At: 2.17
Total Times Picked: 12
Average Last Seen At: 2.29
Total Times Seen 28
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: The ceiling here is nuts, as it's a one-sided wrath that draws you a ton of cards. So, casting it means game over. However, 8 mana is a colossal amount.
Crackle with Power
Average Picked At: 1.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 2.00
Total Times Seen 5
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: This was a bomb in Strixhaven, but that was a ramp-heavy format, so I think it falls short here. Still, the baseline is a 5-mana deal 5, and if you can make it an 8 mana spell that does 10 to two creatures, you're going to win.
Force of Vigor
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.33
Total Times Seen 3
Pro Rating: 0.5
Pro Comment: There aren't enough Artifacts and Enchantments in this format for this to be main deck material.
Voidslime
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.12
Total Times Seen 8
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This is basically just cancel in limited. Countering activated or triggered abilities is rarely worth a card.
Decimate
Average Picked At: 8.50
Total Times Picked: 6
Average Last Seen At: 6.42
Total Times Seen 18
Pro Rating: 0.5
Pro Comment: You have to start this in your sideboard, because you just won't have targets for all four modes often enough.
