Pro Comment: If this hits your opponent, it is pretty much game over for them. However, making that happen isn’t always easy! 7 mana is a lot, and for that big of an investment I kind of expect this to do something immediately to give me some real value, but instead, if your opponent has removal, you end up with nothing but a massive tempo hit. It is still incredibly strong, don’t get me wrong – but the cost of the card and the lack of permanent value keep it out of bomb territory.

Pro Comment: This is bad for your mana base, and the fact it is random is a pretty big problem.

Pro Comment: She’s basically unbeatable if you can get her into play, but making that happen is easier said than done. She is a powerful reason to consider a reanimation strategy.

Pro Comment: This is a better Zombie payoff than the one in the main set. Lords are always quite powerful, and the additions of deathtouch and damaging your opponent when a Zombie dies is great.

Pro Comment: This gives out a lot of +1/+1 counters for only four mana total, and can drastically improve your board state.

Pro Comment: Being able to buff your whole board on two separate attacks with only one card is pretty powerful! If you have the mana, you can also do it all at once!

Pro Comment: A human lord is welcome in Green in this format – and so is a Werewolf lord! So its great that the Mayor can do both. It is especially powerful as a werewolf, because it effectively cranks out a 3/3 every turn.

Pro Comment: Cards that damage your opponent and don’t do anything else are rarely worth it in Limited. This does have the capacity to do up to six for only one card, but you have to pay 7 mana to get there. It is kind of a funny card, because it has kind of an ugly baseline, but it actually gets better in multiples, since you are more likely to find a critical mass that lets you burn out your opponent. Problem is, since this is part of a bonus sheet, actually getting multiples of it won’t happen very often.

Pro Comment: This is powerful because it reanimates efficiently and does it twice, but this format isn’t loaded up with amazing things to reanimate, limiting its effectiveness. If you’re good at milling yourself and you have a few big scary things around it can do some serious work.

Pro Comment: The modality here can be pretty nice, though most of the time you’re going to use it as removal. And sometimes, the creature you really want to use it on is a Human, and in those cases this can be pretty bad.

Pro Comment: This is a nice removal spell that can be particularly good against multiples or tokens. It is also two removal spells in one if the game goes long enough!

Pro Comment: A 5-mana 4/4 Flyer is some serious business, and its nice that this one lets you loot – something that is extra good in a format with Madness, Flashback, and Delirium.

Pro Comment: The boost this offers isn’t really worth it, unless you have a lot of Humans, because then you can turn trades into an advantage.

Pro Comment: Generating a 2/2 every turn for only two mana is great! Having to sacrifice a creature every time is less so, even in a format with sacrifice fodder.

Pro Comment: Bouncing stuff doesn’t generally let you trade for a card – instead it just gives you tempo. But this is cheap enough that you can get a pretty good deal, especially because you can bounce something again later in the game.

Pro Comment: This has great base stats, and if you’re in White you probably have some Spirits to bring back from the graveyard too, which makes her absurdly powerful.

Pro Comment: Once you’ve cast this and flashed it back, this gives you a 2-for-1 with really good card selection, and it loads up the graveyard too, which is likely to give you even more value than that.

Pro Comment: If you manage to get a really good self-mill deck going – preferably one that has a win condition like Spider Spawning – Gnaw to the Bone becomes a really good card at helping you survive long enough to outvalue your opponent with the graveyard. There are lots of decks where it is unplayable, though.

Pro Comment: This gives you some insane value, since it makes sure you have something to cast on virtually every turn. Keep in mind you can cast cards from either graveyard, although you do have to have the right colored mana to cast them.
